Monteverde
Suspension bridges, misty cloud forest, and wildlife in the canopy.
About Monteverde
Monteverde trades beaches for altitude: think cool air, drifting fog, cloud forest canopy walks, hummingbirds, and some of the country's best wildlife guiding. It's a softer, slower kind of adventure built around the forest itself.
When to go
The driest months are January through April, but mist and passing showers are part of the Monteverde experience year-round.
Getting there
Usually 3.5 to 4.5 hours by road from San José or La Fortuna, with the final stretch climbing into the mountains.
