TreeTop Climbing Monteverde

Monteverde is home to some seriously impressive timber. Ancient, gigantic ficus (fig) trees are unique in that their trunks are hollow – so hollow, in fact, that you can get inside and use the lattice of roots and branches to climb all the way to the top. You can then jump out of the trunk and stroll across the treetops on specially designed walkways for some of the very best views of the forest. Our fave: Carefully curated tours like that offered by Treetop Climbing Monteverde are great, but I’d instead recommend enjoying Mother Nature’s work as she made it. There’s a small forest on the edge of town that features a number of stunning ficus trees, two of which you can climb from the inside, popping your head out 30m above the ground. Unsafe? Perhaps. Unforgettable? Definitely. They’re a bit of a local secret and don’t appear on Google Maps, so I’ve taken the liberty of dropping a pin for you!
