The Monteverde Cloud Forest is a high-altitude sanctuary where consistent 100% humidity supports over 3,400 plant species. Six hanging bridges span the 30-metre-high canopy, providing sightings of the resplendent quetzal and the three-wattled bellbird. The reserve protects 10,000 hectares of primary forest, where strangler figs and 500 species of orchids thrive in a permanent mist.

Centered on a 1,670-metre stratovolcano, the park features trails through 1968 lava flows and regenerated rainforest. The volcanic activity fuels geothermal rivers and hot springs with temperatures ranging from 35°C to 41°C. Hikers can observe basaltic rock formations alongside specialised wildlife like white-nosed coatis, great curassows, and colonies of leaf-cutter ants.
