Description
The Monteverde Cloud Forest area is nestled at 4,662 ft above the sea level, and is one of the best day tours for experiencing the cloud forest by walking through the canopy on treetop walkways (hanging bridges) which is simply the best way to observe the Cloud Forest Canopy with the advantage of being able to take your time and admire each of the forest levels. The distinctive weather conditions in Monteverde make it a suitable ecosystem for thousands of plants (over 2500 species) and animals (more than 100 species of mammals, 400 species of birds and tens of thousands of insect species), many of them not found anywhere else on Earth. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the variety of air plants, hummingbirds, butterflies, ancient trees and other nature you will see along the way. Enjoy a guided sloth tour with these emblematic species, home to 20 sleepy, slow-moving, tree-dwelling sloths, learn about it's habits, and why it doesn´t go anywhere very quickly. Observe these sloths from a stressless distance as they roam among the trees and foliage of the exhibition with freedom and in safety. After an eventful morning, we'll sop for a delicious local lunch before making our back.
