CLOUD FOREST RESERVES
Monteverde or the neighboring Santa Elena reserves are officially Cloud Forest Reserves, managed on a non-profit basis, and dedicated to nature and conservation. At a slightly lower elevation, Santa Elena is covered in lush mosses and ferns. Vines hang from the twisted trees, making this a somewhat eerie place to walk. There are also great views of the active Arenal volcano. Monteverde is higher and offers fantastic bird and butterfly watching opportunities. On its exposed ridges are dwarf, wind-twisted forests, while in the interior are swamps, streams and tall trees adorned with orchids. The climate in all forests varies, but is mostly humid. The dry season is between December and March, but be prepared. Strong boots and a rain jacket are essential.
