Hotel Senda Monteverde
Hotel Senda is committed to improving the environment of its own land and the surrounding cloud forest. In the gardens themselves, more than 5,000 extra native plants have been established. There is also a strong partnership with the neighbouring Aguti Wildlife Reserve, and staff members volunteer their time to be involved in the community initiative known as Monteverde Forest Clean Up.
- The dripping, misty and majestic cloud forest is best experienced from the famous suspension bridges of Selvatura. You will be up close and person with the birds and the epiphytes.
- A day trip to learn and experience the whole history and process of growing and refining coffee is a Costa Rican opportunity not to be missed.
- You are on the doorstep of the neighbouring Aguti Wildlife Reserve. A short walk across a suspension bridge will put you amongst the giants of old-growth forest. Stand amongst the huge buttress roots of towering trees. Try and spot a sloth.
- The amazing range of beautiful frogs is best seen on a guided night walk though the forest.
- A quiet morning stroll will give you the best chance of seeing the amazing bird life of the cloud forest. Many birdwatchers come to see the iridescent Quetzal, but that is just the start of the avian adventure.
