After spending a couple of days in Arenal, we drove over to Monteverde. Monteverde is at about 5,500 ft, and is home to what they call a cloud forest. In essence, it is so moist there, that there is a rain forest in the mountains. It’s amazing.
Lots of Rain
We spent a couple of nights here, and hooked up with Justin and Tobyn. We hung out the first night and went to a town “fiesta” where there was an arena with bulls, and young men chasing them around. Fortunately Justin and I were smart enough not to get involved.
Blurry Pictures, but you get the idea, fun times for the locals, and for the bull.
The next day we went ziplining, whcih was insanely fun. The longest line they had was 750 meters long, and I think over 1000ft high. In total, there were over 14 lines. It was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done.
Here’s one where Jill and I went together:
We had a really fun time, Justin and Tobyn did as well, and we got to meet some really fun people to enjoy the day with.
The next day, we woke up and took a guided tour through Monteverde National Park. We got to see the Quetzal, whcih is endagered I think, and is pretty sweet:
We saw all kinds of other wildlife too
There were tons of hummingbirds too, Jill’s favorite
Monteverde was amazing, and I highly reccomend anyone go there. It is incredible how much wildlife you can see, and how beautiful it is there.
