Overview of The Costa Rican rainforests and cloudforests
The rainforests and cloud forests of Costa Rica are the home to some of the most exotic flora and fauna and cover almost a quarter of the whole country.

What to Do in The Costa Rican rainforests and cloudforests
The Monteverde cloud forest
The Monteverde cloud forest is probably the most famous reserve in the country. Monte Verde literally means the green mountain. The surrounding lush, green cloud forest, the hanging walkways that will take you through the tree canopies and you can even horse ride, or zipline your way through the jungle, like Tarzan! The idea is to see as many of the animal and plant species as you can in this megadiverse forest. Birdwatching is the main activity of course with many trying to spot the resplendent quetzal in its natural habitat.
The Manuel Antonio park
The Manuel Antonio park is an amazing national park with a mixture of cloud forest and three magnificent beaches, which form part of the park and are home to a number of different habitats. There are primary and secondary forests, beach, mangroves and marine habitats which add to the combination of zones which are set upon the top of a hill overlooking the ocean. It is no wonder this is also one of the main attractions in Costa Rica! There are activities abound and many close-by hotels to make the most of this magical place.
La Fortuna
La Fortuna is the base to explore the magnificent Arenal volcano. This classic conical volcano attracts a lot of visitors as the most active volcano in Costa Rica, although there has not been an eruption since the 1960s. The setting of La Fortuna volcano is in primary rainforest and activities include ziplining, horse riding, toucan watching, visit a massive waterfall and relaxing in the hot springs at the end of the days’ activities. La Fortuna waterfall is after all why the area got its name!
