biodiversities of this area whixh are more than 130 species of mammals, 500

species of birds, 120 species of amphibians and reptiles for plant lovers. There are

The tour begins with an introductory video about the flora and fauna of the cloud

forest, maintained by a walk inside the RBBNM guided by a professional for 2 ½

hours. One of the main attractions of the Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological

Reserve is its network of 13 kilometers of trails. While walking the trails, visitors

have a number of options to enjoy. One of the most emblematic alternatives is

the hike to "La Ventana": a viewpoint where you can see beautiful views exposed

naturally by the continental division, considered a geographical feature that runs

through the main mountain range of Costa Rica.

At "La Ventana", visitors can experience the strength of the trade winds charged

with moisture coming from the Atlantic coast and watch it descend at great speed

towards the Central Pacific and the coastal plains of Northern Costa Rica. They are

also recommended to visit the hanging bridge "Wilford Guindon", where they will

have the opportunity to appreciate a large number of epiphytes (bromeliads,

orchids, ferns, mosses) and other forms of life that inhabit the typical treetops of

the area.
