Into the Cloud Forests of Monteverde

Bite-sized trip
  • Itinerary:
    Monteverde
  • Duration:
    3 days / 2 nights (flexible)
  • Price:
    From £ 258.- per person (excluding flights)
The lush cloud forest of Monteverde is high on the list of Costa Rican must-sees for many travellers. Here, the morning mist lasts most of the day, continuously filtering through this dense, tropical jungle. Standing amongst primitive trees in the swirling mist feels like you've stepped back into the land of the dinosaurs.

Day 1 – Arrival in Monteverde

You’ll spend the next few nights in a rustic lodge with a homely feel and a beautiful garden within walking distance of the town centre. Once you’ve settled in, you can take advantage of some of the local activities available, such as visiting the frog pond to see many different species and learn all about them from a local expert. Alternatively check out one of the restaurants and bars in this bustling town.

Day 2 – Tree top walk with guide

With its high humidity and altitude, Monteverde is full of lush vegetation. You’ll join your guide and a small group of other travellers to experience the cloud forest for yourself. You’ll take a 3km walk along many sturdy bridges and walkways at different heights. As most animals here are nocturnal, and rather shy, the tour will be geared towards a botanical experience, focusing on the diverse variety of plants.

Day 3 – Departure from Monteverde

After breakfast, this trip will sadly come to an end. You’ll pack up your things and check out from your hotel. It’s then time to take the bumpy road onwards to your next destination. As there is so much to do in Monteverde you might decide that you’d like to extend your time here – just let your travel specialist know.
