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.
