5Beautiful
Be prepared for an amazing time, walking through the cloud forest is always a great time, IL have been to Montevede before and will go again.
5Fantastic Bird Watching
Spent a morning with Juan touring the Cloud Forest. The main objective was birding. Juan delivered fantastic results. He is an excellent guide & his communication skills are outstanding. I really enjoyed spending time with Juan.
5The best tour guide!
We had such an excellent time with Dennis! He is incredibly knowledgeable, prompt, and speaks very good English. He was always very quick with spotting wildlife and setting up his scope so that we could see them as well. We learned so much and had such a great time. 1000% recommend!
5Wow!
We had a wonderful experience! Booking was easy, and the shuttles were regular. Tips: get to Centro Visitante a bit early because you need to pay an additional Natl Park entrance fee. We booked with Dennis Fernandez— he was a wonderful guide. He knew so much about the forest, and had a winning personality. Also, a very talented photographer. We enjoyed chatting with him over coffee after the tour. Thank you, Dennis!
5Our family (including 2...
Our family (including 2 teens) loved this tour. The reserve is a very special place. Our guide, Jairo, was deeply knowledgeable about the animals, ecology, and all aspects of the cloud forest.
5Worth it!
Wonderful tour! Dennis was very knowledgeable and was able to point out so many things that we would have missed if we had just done the self-guided tour. Worth the extra money in order to truly learn about and soak up the forest.

About Monteverde
Monteverde is a mountain community in Costa Rica's cloud forest, known for misty reserves, hanging bridges, birdlife and coffee farms.
Monteverde is a scattering of farms and small villages on the Tilarán Mountains, around 1,400 metres up, where moist winds from the Caribbean wrap the ridge in cloud. Quaker families from the United States settled here in the 1950s and began dairy farming, and they helped protect the forest above. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve and the neighbouring Santa Elena Reserve preserve mossy trees, ferns, orchids and hanging vines.
Top-ranked sights in Monteverde: Curi-Cancha Reserve, Selvatura Park, Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve (Reserva Bosque Nuboso Santa Elena).
