About Monteverde

Monteverde is privileged to receive a steady supply of clouds and the life-giving moisture that they contain. This moisture, often in the form of fog, catches on the branches of the tallest trees and drips down to the other organisms below. This helps to support a complex and far-reaching ecosystem, one that harbors over 100 species of mammals, 400 species of birds, tens of thousands of insect species, and over 2,500 varieties of plants, 420 of which are orchids alone.

Monteverde Hanging Bridges Nature Exhibit Tour Itinerary

Hotel Pick up

After pick up from your hotel, you will be taken to the Park.  If you are being picked up from Pacific Coast area beaches for your one day tour to Monteverde, we will stop so you have a chance to buy breakfast/coffee.

Sloth Sanctuary

Have a close experience with some 20 sloth specimens. In the sanctuary, the sloths can travel freely between paths specially created to roam among the trees and foliage of the exhibition. This provides a safe distance that allows observation while preventing as much stress on the animals as possible. These beautiful mammals have arrived at the sanctuary as refugees from the effects of poaching, habitat destruction, orphanage, illness and accidents among other reasons that prevent them from being reintroduced to their natural habitat.

 

Costa Rican Lunch

You will be treated to a plentiful Costa Rican style lunch at the lodge inbetween activities.

Monteverde Hanging Bridges

The Tree Top Walkways consist of a 1.9 mile (approximately 3 kilometer) trail that crosses through the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Here visitors will walk on eight different bridges with various lengths ranging between 150 feet (50 meters) up to 510 feet (170 meters) and altitudes ranging between 36 feet (12 meters) up to 180 feet (60 meters). Each bridge has a width of five feet, the widest bridges in Costa Rica, and also a capacity of up to 80 people per bridge making them both the longest and strongest bridge systems in the Monteverde Cloud Forest. The Tree Top Walkways are suitable for people of all ages. The duration of the hike usually takes between 1.5 and 2 hours.

 

Butterfly Garden

Selvatura Park boasts one of the largest and most beautiful butterfly gardens in the Americas and is home to more than 30 species of Costa Rican butterflies of all altitudes and climates.  Wander through this spacious dome-shaped structure that ensures the perfect amount of sunlight and shelter from the wind for these delicate animals to flutter between the array of nectar-rich flowers.

Specialized guides will entertain you during a tour through the flower-filled gardens with lots of information and fun facts about the magnificent butterflies, their incredible life cycle, and much more.  This is the opportunity to absorb the butterfly effect and the peace that is felt while observing them feeding, resting, or in flight.
