St. Elena Reserve (Monteverde)

Welcome to the cloudforest :)
Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve reveals a lush garden of mosses, ferns, flowers and epiphytes growing thickly on every tree. Clouds drift in and settle among the slopes, providing the plants with the continuous moisture that they require. Dangling roots and vines sweep across the trails, while the sounds of birds and other creatures echo throughout the forest.
Insects, reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds like three-wattled bellbird, bare-necked umbrellabird, keel-billed toucan, long-tailed manakin and resplendent quetzal. live here. White-faced and howler monkeys reside here, as do jaguars, agouti, and the three-toed sloth.Read more
