Costa Rica Holidays: Monteverde Cloud Forest + Selvatura Hanging Bridges
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve was gifted to the nation by a small community of conservation-minded Quakers, who settled here in the 1950s. On Costa Rica holidays it can be found in the Central Highlands, on the continental divide between Arenal Volcano and the Pacific Ocean and on a clear day you can see both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. The primary cloud forest here boasts staggering biodiversity and its unique moisture driven eco-systems supports endemic species not found anywhere else on earth.
On Costa Rica holidays, Monteverde is a birder’s paradise with a bird count of over 400 different species, including many hummingbirds and the exotic but elusive resplendent quetzal. There are also 120 mammals and 1,200 reptiles and amphibians found here – as well as a multiplicity of insects. This is one of the few places that support all six cat species: the jaguar, ocelot, puma, oncilla, margay and jaguarundi, although they are rarely seen.
With many outdoor activities, there are the Selvatura Hanging Bridges, aerial trams, ziplines, butterfly farms and insect museums to explore. You can also walk along twelve miles of hiking trails on Costa Rica holidays to Monteverde Cloud Forest.
