| Walking in the cloud forest of Monteverde |
Monteverde is the home of the world famous cloud forest. Other than seeing the quetzals, toucans, monkeys and epiphytes (plants that grow on other plants), the next thing that ppl probably remember is the bumpy gravel roads that lead to the Monteverde and Santa Elena area. I spent 3 nights here and had got used to the roller coaster ride around town.
Santa Elena/Monteverde itself is less touristy compare to La Fortuna, which is across Lake Arenal. The attractions seem to be spread out and it's hard to go around unless you have a lot of time to walk or you take a taxi or rent a jeep. |

mircaskirca Mon Mar 24, 2008 18:38 UTC Monteverde must be a very interesting area to explore!! There seems to be all kinds of interesting flora and fauna to spot. Arco Iris Lodge, surrounded by lush vegetation, looks just a perfect place to stay! :) | kyoub Tue Feb 20, 2007 13:58 UTC Beautiful scenery photos.
