There’s something magical about hiking in a cloud forest. There’s an almost eerie silence, broken by the odd tweet of a bird, creak of a tree, or babble of a brook. Perfectly manicured path aside, it’s as if you’ve found yourself back in hunter gatherer times, prowling the jungle in search of food. There are a wealth of hiking trails that wind through the forest, and the cool mountain air and beautiful surroundings make it easy to forget that you’re exercising. Our fave: The Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve. Cheaper and less touristy than the more renowned Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve, you’ll be able to wander through the forest largely alone, increasing your likelihood of seeing something special.
