Overview
Monteverde's cloud forest sits on the continental divide, wrapped in mist that feeds mosses, orchids and bromeliads. The afternoon starts with a guided night walk to find sleeping toucans, tarantulas, glass frogs and two-toed sloths by torchlight.
After a night in Santa Elena, morning brings hanging bridges at canopy level and a zip-line circuit that includes one of the longest cables in Central America, flying over the forest's roof.
