Discover one of Costa Rica’s most enchanting high-elevation ecosystems on this three-hour guided walk through the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve. Managed by the local Santa Elena Public High School, the reserve is a shining example of community-driven conservation and sustainable tourism. As you follow steep, mist-lined trails deep into the forest, you’ll experience the true essence of a cloud-forest environment—where dense vegetation, swirling fog, and towering trees create an atmosphere found in few places on Earth. While the thick forest canopy at this altitude can make wildlife sightings less common, it offers an exceptional opportunity to admire the incredible diversity of plants, trees, and epiphytes that thrive in these unique conditions. Perfect for nature lovers, hikers, and anyone eager to explore a more tranquil and pristine side of Monteverde, this tour immerses you in the quiet magic of one of Costa Rica’s most remarkable natural sanctuaries.
