Costa Rica Surf - Monteverde is like no other area in the country offering a combination of climatic, altitude and geographic factors, which creates temperature and humidity gradients that change dramatically over relatively short distances. The Monteverde Cloud Forest preserve, the main attraction in the area, supports over six different life zones which includes over 100 species of mammals, over 400 species of birds (including the infamous Quetzal ) and butterflies, 120 species of amphibians and reptiles, 2500 species of plants as well as tens of thousands of insect species. This is a great place for families, couples or for any traveler looking to get off the beaten path and relax in a quiet, mountain atmosphere. Local activities include canopy tours, guided tours of the forest, sky walks, butterfly farms, birdwatching, and much more.
