Itinerary

Monteverde is a mystical cloud forest with ferns, bromeliads and mosses that grow on the trees absorbing water and releasing it as soon as the rain subsides.

Be enchanted in the forest as you walk over bridges, watch giant butterflies and enjoy delicious local coffee.

Day 1 Welcome to the Cloud Forest

Welcome to the Cloud Forest

Today you will arrive in Monteverde either by rental car, bus or shuttle. Optionally, we can also take care of your arrival! You can check in from about 2 pm and make yourself really comfortable. Don't forget your long pants and a sweater for the night, because in the mountains it can cool down at night. Explore the small path through the nature or have dinner in the Treehouse restaurant in the center (not included).

Cala Lodge (Standard Room)

Day 2 Hanging Bridges and Butterflies

Hanging Bridges and Butterflies

Are you more of an early riser or late riser? Depending on that, we can set your time for the tour today. A shuttle will pick you up at your accommodation about half an hour before the start. On your own you will go to the Monteverde suspension bridges. These are sturdily built and vary in length. About three kilometers of path connect the constructions of 50 to 170m length. Here you will experience a completely new view of the cloud forest, which you have observed so far mainly from below. Especially on morning tours you can be very lucky to spot a Quetzal. We continue to the butterfly garden with more than 20 different species in different life cycles. Especially impressive for us is the Blue Morpho, not only because of its iridescent blue, but also because we don't know such big butterflies from Europe. Truly impressive, isn't it?
Transfer included, suspension bridges without guide

Day 3 Coffee and more

Coffee and more

Today you will visit the plantation of Don Juan - a real highlight in Monteverde. Depending on your interests, a staff member will show you the special features of the growing area, the origin of the coffee plant as well as the history in Costa Rica, but also the influence on the socio-cultural development. Of course, the life cycle of the plant may not be missing and so you see green and red fruits on the bushes, later the drying and also the roasting including tasting. Do you like chocolate ? Cocoa beans and the preparation of handmade chocolate will also be the topic of this tour - and of course you will also have a snack! How do you press sugar cane and how does the fresh juice taste?  This is the third part of your tour. Would you like to take home some coffee or another souvenir? In the store you have the possibility afterwards.
