On this walking tour of the Reserve, a special ecological guide will draw your attention to a variety of flora and fauna. Experience elements of the six different ecological communities of plants and animals that compose the forest of Monteverde. Admire some of its more than 2,000 native plant species, more than 320 bird species, and more than 100 mammal species. Watch for the resplendent Quetzal, the most beautiful bird on the continent. After your hike, visit the Hummingbird Gallery and nearby dairy collective, which was founded by a group of North American Quakers who settled here during the Korean War as conscientious objectors.

Note: There is a daily quota for visitors into the reserve in order to minimize the ecological impact of tourism on this delicate ecosystem. This is one tour that should be pre-booked, and it is always best to take the early morning departure before breakfast, when the wildlife is most active, and to ensure you get in before the quota is filled! |
