Monteverde area

Breathtaking views of the Gulf of Nicoya and the islands below will accompany you as you ascend the hills to Monteverde and Santa Elena. The community, secluded on a 1400 meter-high (4594 ft) plateau, was founded in 1951 by a group of North American Quakers. Although some of the original virgin forest was cleared for dairy farming, the founders’ environmental consciousness, together with help from private organizations, led to the creation of a biological preserve that hosts one of the richest ecological systems in Costa Rica.
Due to its location at a relatively high altitude, Monteverde's climate is rather fresh. Temperatures range from 13-24ºC (55-75ºF). Clouds, mist, rain and eventual rays of sunshine bring life and enchantment to the cloud forest. It is an ideal place for bird-watching, canopy touring, hiking and horseback riding; further attractions in the area include a butterfly garden, the cheese factory, the Sky Walk and the Sky Trek, the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and the Santa Elena Forest Reserve, among other private reserves.
