Review:

Monteverde is an internationally recognized environment situated atop the backbone of the country’s continental divide. This lush and mountainous area is a world above the beachside towns that line Costa Rica’s iconic shorelines. It is a place consisting of coffee plantations, cloud forests, mists, monkeys, and welcoming locals. The charming town of Santa Elena is filled with folksy artisan shops and delectable restaurants, while the rainforest nearby is home to an extraordinary wealth of biodiversity. The area shelters 400 bird species, more than 100 types of mammals, and over 2,500 different plants. Visitors can explore the area utilizing trams and trails as well as museums and various tours.
