The Best AirBnBs in Monteverde, Costa Rica

Where to Stay for Your Perfect Cloud Forest Vacation

When you think of Costa Rica you probably think of things like lush jungles, sloths, and monkeys. One of the best places to see all of those is the Monteverde region. Cooler than the coastal beach towns like Santa Terersa and Tamarindo, the higher elevation and unique geography creates a cloud forest ecosystem unlike any other. The opportunities for wildlife viewing, hiking, and zip lining make Monteverde a traveller favourite.

Located about 3 hours northwest of the capital of San Jose, the protected Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve has become a model of sustainable tourism. Listed in National Geographic and Newsweek as one of the top cloud forest reserves in the world, the government even deemed it one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Costa Rica. You definitely want to put this on your Costa Rica bucket list.

From historic villas to stunning treehouses, here are some of the coolest AirBnBs in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

Book Your Trip to Costa Rica

Book Your Flight

Find a cheap flight by using Expedia. It's one of my favourite search engines because it allows you to search for and compare flights from multiple airlines.

Book Your Accommodations

You can book your hotel with Booking.com as they have the most comprehensive inventory so they are best for booking a hotel. If you want to stay in a vacation rental or cottage in Costa Rica, use VRBO to find the perfect place for the whole family.

Book Your Car Rental

You can enjoy Costa Rica without a car but if you want to travel on your own timelines, you'll want to rent something. Be sure to book your car rental with Discover Cars early to make sure you get your choice.

Book Your Travel Insurance

While Costa Rica is generally a safe country, you never know when something could happen. Be prepared with travel insurance from SafetyWing. Travel insurance has certainly saved my butt before.
