Experience It! Monteverde Cloud ForestThere are only four places in the world with an ecosystem so unique that it produces a cloud forest — the Monteverde Cloud Forest in CostaRica is one. Situated high on a mountain, the cloud forest is created when the arid air from the forest below the mountain combines with themoist, hot air of the rainforest. The result is a blanket of misty, wispy clouds that linger low in the forest, making it feel as if it were raining.This rare environment breeds a diverse world of exotic flora and fauna. One of the cloud forest’s most famous residents is the endangeredresplendent quetzal. A remarkably colorful bird, this creature sports a golden beak that protrudes from a green-hooded head. Its breast is avibrant scarlet and the tail feathers are gray, black and white. A highly elusive bird, quetzal sightings are rare but absolutely unforgettable.YOUR ITINERARY AT A GLANCEDayDayDayDayDay12, 34, 56, 78Doubletree Cariari Hotel, San JoseEsplendor Tamarindo, GuanacasteEl Establo, MonteverdeArenal Springs Resort, ArenalDoubletree Cariari Hotel, San JoseOn some dates alternate hotels may be used.Please Note:Book Now rates valid until Mar 22, 2018, valid on air inclusive packages only.Economy air rate and schedule are applicable for groups of 10 or more traveling on thesame flights and dates.Taxes/fees to be paid in local currency or USD upon exiting the country are approximately32 USD per person.To complete your tour, we include roundtrip airport-to-hotel transfers when purchasing ourairfare with your tour.
