Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Arrival in Monteverde

    You'll land at Juan Santamaria International Airport where someone from the tour company meets you at arrivals. From there, it's a shared air-conditioned bus ride to your hotel in Monteverde. After you check in and get settled, the rest of the day is yours to relax and take in the tropical rainforest around your accommodation.

    Landmarks/POIs

  2. Day 2

    Monteverde Cloudforest Guided Walk

    Grab breakfast at the hotel, then head to reception where your local guide will meet you. From there, you'll walk through the Monteverde Cloudforest Biological Reserve with the guide pointing out the different ecosystems and wildlife you come across.

    · September 22nd, 2025
    The sites, the guides and the local people were all great. I travelled solo and met some amazing people from all over the world. Food was pretty good and I liked the local beers. The nature and flora were simply amazing. The only thing I suggest, a better time on the Transports. I knew that I was being picked up in the morning, but no idea what time? Also, I was switched to a different hotel on my first stop, one that was 2km out of town from the original hotel. No big deal, but it would've been nice to know. Got my steps in going to town and back!

    What an exciting adventurous trip. We hiked and went zip lining. We saw turtles lay eggs in the sand in the middle of the night. The hotels were nice, comfortable and the staff were amazing. Over all a great trip.
