Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve
One of Costa Rica's most biodiverse reserves, the chance to see the resplendent quetzal is the holy grail. Dawn guided walks offer the best sightings.

Hodophs insider tipBook a dawn guided walk (6am) with a specialist guide - quetzal sightings are most likely in the early morning during nesting season (January–May). Guides carry telescopes and know exactly where the birds are nesting. Even without a quetzal sighting, the cloud forest at dawn is extraordinary.
