Monteverde Cloud Forest
Biological Reserve Day Hike

The Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve is one of the most popular reserves in Costa Rica, and is globally recognized for its vital role in conservation efforts and scientific research. The reserve  has an area of just ​​3,500 hectares, and yet, it contains approximately 2.5% of the World's biodiversity.

This incredible density of life comes from the reserve’s unique geographical, topographical, and climatic conditions.  The reserve encloses four different ecological life zones, each of them unique ecosystems inhabited by an extensive variety of mammal, bird, butterfly, amphibian, reptile, insect, and arachnid species, as well as countless mosses, epiphytes, lianas, and trees.

During this guided hike, you will have the opportunity to explore the wonderful cloud forest, spotting animals and plants with the help of your guide, and learning about the natural world of Monteverde along the way.  This is an educational, eye-opening experience in which you will get to know this beautiful forest up close.

Important Notes: 

• We limit tours to a maximum of 9 participants per guide for better enjoyment. 
• Entrance to the reserve can be delayed certain times of year subject to the load capacity of the reserve.
• 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.
