There is an aura about Monteverde’s cloud forest that soothes the spirit. The mist drifting past silhouettes of majestic trees, the cool quiet and the haunting music of a bird called “solitaire.” Trees draped in a profusion of bromeliads and orchids create a powerful impression of abundance and life. Amid such greenery, the lacy-fronded tree fern, unchanged since early ecological times, stands out as a signature cloud forest specimen. For those lucky enough to glimpse the elusive resplendent quetzal, one of the world’s most beautiful birds, it becomes clear how color and grace could inspire the reverence of Mayan civilizations. The cloud forest is a secretive place, revealing its magic to the trained eye of our Naturalists, who will help you observe all facets of this marvelous habitat. Have a ground-level experience by walking the forest trail and then head up into the canopy to take a Skywalk — a series of suspension bridges — for a bird’s-eye view. Combine Monteverde with your National Geographic Sea Lion sailing for an in-depth perspective.
