Monteverde is a little town situated in the famous cloud forests of Costa Rica, one of the rarest environments in the world, home to eight different biological zones. A nature and bird lovers paradise, the cloud forests are filled with over 500 bird species like the famous quetzal, and other wildlife such as jaguars, ocelots, the red eyed tree frog, and innumerable species of plant life. The temperature, elevation, and various other factors have created the perfect environment for the constant mist that makes the forest appear to be in the clouds. Many trails are cutting through the forest and large suspension bridges that allow you to walk above the clouds and above the forest canopies.
