	Send inquiry Monteverde Cloud Forest Monteverde has become a very popular place to observe wildlife in the cloud forest. North American Quaker families arrived here many years ago, lived a peaceful life and started protecting the beautiful nature. They founded the Monteverde Reserve, which today is one of the most important attractions in Monteverde. Tourism soon became an important source of income for the area which is why tourism infrastructure in Monteverde has seen some respectable developments during the past years. Almost all hotels are owned by Costa Rican families, and that makes Monteverde very special. Within the last years, a lot of new activities have been developed and you can experience the cloud forest in many different ways. You can visit, for example, the Skywalk or the walkways of Selvatura. These are trails through the cloud forest where you walk on suspension bridges and observe the biodiversity in the canopy of the jungle. 3 different and adventurous canopy tours can also be booked at the tour desk of any hotel. However, the Monteverde Reserve and the Santa Elena Reserve are the most beautiful places to visit in this area and you shouldn't miss them. Birdwatching too is excellent in the cloud forest, with over 250 species of birds. The main village of the area is Santa Elena where restaurants, bars and shops can be found.
