Perched high in Costa Rica’s central highlands, Monteverde is a misty mountaintop escape where clouds drift through emerald treetops and nature whispers from every leaf. Known as the “Green Mountain,” this enchanting region is a sanctuary for biodiversity and a dream come true for eco-adventurers. The crown jewel is the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, a surreal landscape where moss-draped trees, rare orchids, and the elusive Resplendent Quetzal coexist in a delicate, misty balance. Wander its well-marked trails and suspension bridges, and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a living fairytale. Whether you’re ziplining through the canopy, birdwatching with binoculars, or simply breathing in the cool, clean air, Monteverde invites you to slow down and reconnect—with nature, and maybe even yourself.
