Santa Elena/Moteverde - Related Links

The Monteverde area in Costa Rica is world-famous for its cloud forest. There are now two reserves, the original Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and the new Santa Elena Rain Forest. In these forests you can enjoy the cloud forest climate and hike the trails or participate in a "forest-top" tour amongst the varieties of plants and magnificent epiphyte-laden trees, where over 450 bird species have been seen.
