Monteverde, Costa Rica

On our way to Monteverde, we stopped by Rio Celeste waterfall for a hike and to see the beautiful blue coloured water. During our hike to the stream, it began pouring with rain. It was cold and wet but lovely to see the rainforest in the rain.

The trip to Monteverde was about three hours. We stayed at a lodge slightly out of town so we drove in for lunch. Monteverde is high in the hills and extremely windy.

The next morning we headed out to the cloud forest. It is a spectacular rainforest set amongst the clouds. Even as we walked through the forest, we could see the clouds passing through. We climbed right to the lookout, which was hardly scenic with the cloud cover. It was a cooler walk through the forest and the forest stays damp from the sustained condensation. We spent a few hours here exploring the different tracks.Read more
