Monteverde, Costa Rica is a mountain town in northwestern Costa Rica. It is known for its cloud forests, including the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, where you can hike and enjoy nature as well as keep an eye out for rare wildlife such as jaguars, ocelots, and the beautiful quetzal. In the reserve you can hike trails both through the jungle and above the tree canopy. While the cloud forests are the main attraction in Monteverde, there are several other nature-related attractions in and around the city. Zoological attractions, such as the Serpentario de Monteverde, the Monteverde Theme Park, and Selvatura Park, are popular as are adventure attractions like ziplines, suspension bridges, horseback riding, and more. Visiting Costa Rica in April means that you will be there in the dry season when the weather is at its best, however prices may be a bit higher as it's a popular time to go. Map
