Overview

Our certified Tour Guides are locals who've lived in Monteverde all their life.

They've visited the Monteverde Cloud Forest thousands of times, and they know the place like the palm of their hand. You will be in the hands of a true local expert who will take your Monteverde Cloud Forest experience to the next level.

We also partnered with Cafe Colibri, a small coffee shop with a hummingbird garden next to the Monteverde Reserve entrance. And you free access to the coffee shop's hummingbird garden, a magic garden where you will see dozens of hummingbirds flying around. You can also get drinks and pastries at the coffee shop (not included on this tour rate).

What's included

  • The Park's Entrance Fee
  • Professional Bilingual (ENG/SPA) Tour Guide
  • Use of HD Spotting Scope
  • Private transportation

What to expect

First, we will meet at Cafe Colibri, a small coffee shop next to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. We meet there to avoid confusion as you might see many tour guides and tourists at the park's entrance. Our Tour Guide will be next to the entrance door of the coffee shop.

Then, our Tour Guide will take you to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reception, so you can get your entrance tickets, which you must purchase separately.

Once you have your tickets, you will enter the Monteverde Cloud Forest with our Tour Guide, who will lead you on a 2-hour to 2.5-hour walk to learn about the importance of the Monteverde Cloud Forest, potentially spotting animals* along the way. Our Tour Guide will use his HD spotting scope throughout the walk to help you take amazing photos of flora and fauna. You're free to ask questions, and our Tour Guide will do their best to bring light to those questions.

Finally, you will return to Cafe Colibri for coffee and snacks (included with the tour) to wrap things up. At this point, you can ask your final questions to our Tour Guide.

*There is no guarantee you will see animals on this tour because the forest is unpredictable.
