Exploring Costa Rica Guidebook

Monteverde

YOU make your way up the steep, rocky road and you'll be forgiven

for thinking This can't really be the way to one of Costa Rica's top

tourist destinations. But all doubts disappear into the swirling

cloud-forest mist you re at 1,400 meters (4,592 feet) altitude, after all

once you arrive. Nature hikes, bird watching, canopy tours, coffee and

farm visits, horseback riding, shopping, some pretty good restaurants, and

lodgings for all budgets will keep you busy during your stay up here.
