FIND YOUR BASE
A small property or lodge around Monteverde can provide a base for nature tours. Choose according to the distance from the forest experience you actually want to visit. Added comfort and views can form part of your stay, but research transport separately rather than assuming everything is within walking distance.
Explore Monteverde's cloud forest in a small group. Your guide uses a spotting scope and local knowledge to find and explain birds, plants and small creatures. Admission to the reserve is purchased separately.
