"Sta Elena and how to reach it" Monteverde Favorite Tip by a005116

Favorite thing: Sta Elena is the place to go, when you want to visit the famous Monteverde cloud forests. It is a very touristic place like you can imagine. Souvernir shops, hotels and restaurants all over the place. Try the bakery close to the buss station, they have very nice things there!

It is a hard way getting there, but you'll survive, I'm sure! There are busses to Puntarenas and to Tilaran. There are also other touristic services. The ways to get there are from the most terrible (unpaved and like a like gryére cheese) and when that doesn't make you feel sick, you get it from all the turns in the way or from the fast driving driver...
