Monteverde Costa Rica

"A Piece of heaven"
This is the phrase that thousands of national and international tourists use after visiting the beautiful area of Monteverde every year. Not just for its impressive landscapes or exuberant vegetation, but for the warm reception by the Tico population. People from Monteverde are typical Costa Ricans.

Monteverde Costa Rica has become a tourist attraction all over the world, due the biodiversity of its forests, crystalline waters, fresh air and the existence of outstanding species such as the Quetzal, the Three-wattled Bellbird, the Bare-necked Umbrellabird and the Golden Toad (nowadays extinct).

For this reason, in 2007 Monteverde Cloud Forest is considered one of the Costa Rica's Seven Wonders, along with Cocos Island, Tortuguero, Arenal Volcano, Chirripo Mountain, Celeste River and Poas Volcano.

There are 3 main reserves around the Monteverde area in Santa Elena Costa Rica:
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve and the Children's Eternal Forest.
