🎯 Attractions

Attraction
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.
