Introduction

The Hummingbird Garden in Monteverde is a small but delightful, visitor-loved nature spot—a perfect place to see up close these beautiful, magical "air sprites," the hummingbirds. Hummingbirds are the Americas' tiny, smallest birds, with iridescent, jewel-like plumage in sunlight (emerald, sapphire, magenta) and wings beating dozens of times per second, letting them hover and fly backward; they sip nectar with slender beaks—nature's exquisite masterpiece. Monteverde's cloud forest region is rich in hummingbird species. At the garden (usually near the cloud forest reserve entrance, or by a café or souvenir shop), red feeders filled with sugar water attract flocks of varied wild hummingbirds that hover, chase and feed right before visitors' eyes, letting you observe and photograph these elusive sprites up close. A close-up view of colorful hummingbirds is an easy, wonderful, all-ages nature experience in Monteverde.
