Monteverde/Santa Elena Hotels

Photo by D. Gordon E. Robertson

Monteverde was the location of one of Costa Rica's first protected areas and it's easy to see why. The mountainous jungle setting makes the cloud forests. These forests are home to an explosion of life, on every surface, vertical or horizontal. You might expect to see a Hobbit or an Elf around every corner in this magical setting.

Accommodation options are in lodges in the area or in the town of Santa Elena with a great variety of options.
