Ecological Sanctuary Day Hike

The Ecological Sanctuary is a 30 hectare private reserve of both primary and secondary forest, which has trails, viewpoints, coffee and banana plantations, and a wide variety of flora and fauna to discover. 

This tour was created by a local Costa Rican family more than two decades ago, to help fund the conservation and forest regeneration efforts ongoing in the reserve. 

During this tour, you’ll learn firsthand the importance of the conservation efforts that are so vital to the Monteverde area, and support a small family-run business at the same time.

Important Notes: 

• We limit tours to a maximum of 9 participants per guide for better enjoyment.
• Encountering wildlife is not guaranteed. Exploring the reserve with your guide will give you the best chance to spot some of the many species that inhabit the cloud forest, but ultimately you are venturing into the natural habitat of wild animals, whose behavior is impossible to predict with certainty.
