Monteverde Tours
The Monteverde Cloud Forest is an ecological haven for birders and all manner of nature enthusiasts.
Monteverde or “Green Mountain” as it is directly translated is aptly named for its extensive reserve of lush, verdant cloud forests. National Geographic has described it as “the jewel in the crown of cloud forests.” In 2007, Costa Ricans voted the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve one of the country’s seven wonders.

The Monteverde Cloud Forest is the epicenter of cloud forest exploration. This green oasis is the pride and joy of ecotourism in Costa Rica. Discover the cloud forest from every angle: on ziplines above the trees, overhanging bridges in the canopy, and along walking trails on the forest floor. With over 400 unique bird species, Monteverde is an especially treasured destination for birding. Nature enthusiasts travel far to spot the rare Resplendent Quetzal bird hiding amidst the trees – and an early morning birding tour is the perfect opportunity to see how many you can spot!
We highly recommend discovering the Monteverde region with a professional guide. Especially within national parks and private reserves, guides can point out the natural history, relationships, and wildlife that would have otherwise been missed. Travelers will make the most of their time and experience with one of our professionally guided tours. Additionally, all Monteverde tours can be booked privately for a more personalized experience.
