Costa Rica's misty highland cloud forest, lush and teeming with life, where canopy bridges offer views of rare quetzals.

📍 Destination Overview

Monteverde, on a high ridge in central Costa Rica, is world-famous for its cloud forest, perpetually cloaked in mist and rain, where mosses, ferns and orchids drape the trees in extraordinary biodiversity. Wander the forest trails, cross swaying canopy bridges, or zip-line above the treetops, spotting the rare resplendent quetzal and hummingbirds, a paradise for nature lovers.
