Green. I don\u2019t know if I truly understood what that colour was until I arrived in Costa Rica, a nation wedged between Nicaragua and Panama in the very centre of Central America. Beaches, forests, wildlife, and fun come together in Costa Rica to form what the locals call pura vida<\/em>. Life is more balanced here: clocks aren\u2019t watched as closely, smiles are in generous supply, and there\u2019s no shame in sitting back and watching the world go by. No place better encapsulates the pure life than Costa Rica’s Monteverde Cloud Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A four hour bus ride north of San Jose, you\u2019ll find the magic Monteverde Cloud Forest, so named for the omnipresent, low-slung clouds (or more accurately, high-slung hills), which see the forest enveloped in a near-constant fog. Thanks to the moisture delivered by these clouds, this part of the country is somehow even greener than the rest. We\u2019re talking lime on jade on olive on avocado. I\u2019m running out of synonyms for green here so I hope you get the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plants being the first link in the food chain, the wealth of flora begets an equally impressive array of fauna. Toucans, hummingbirds, sloths<\/a>, jaguars, tree snakes, and morpho butterflies are some of the main events. Added to the beauty and the wildlife, Monteverde also has a reputation as the adventure capital of the country. Adventure tourism and ecotourism in Costa Rica<\/a> are two of the nation’s highest earners \u2014the locals have dreamed up more ways to experience the magnificence of the cloud forest than you can poke a stick at. And, having spent a week in the area, I had the opportunity to try most of them. My stick got pretty worn out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How should you experience the greenery of Costa Rica’s Monteverde Cloud Forest? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fly through the skies on a zipline at 100% Aventura Adventure Park <\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Monteverde
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Monteverde, Costa Rica. aventuracanopytour.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Costa Rica is perhaps most famous for its ziplines, and Monteverde<\/a> Cloud Forest is the cable capital of the world\u2019s cable capital. Here, you\u2019ll find Latin America\u2019s longest single zipline, Costa Rica\u2019s longest zipline course, and a unique example that sends tourists superman style <\/em>straight through a tunnel.  Adrenaline junkies will be in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our fave: <\/strong>The two superman ziplines at 100% Aventura Adventure Park<\/a> were incredible. At 1.6 km (1 mi) long and extraordinarily high, the first one that you\u2019ll take is officially the longest zipline in Central America and offers adrenaline and spectacular views in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swing from vine to vine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BufBjhIg_FB\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another one for those who enjoy exploring the forest in a more extreme fashion, a number of adventure parks offer what they call the Tarzan swing. That name might be a bit of a misnomer, as rather than swinging from vine to vine like the guy in the loin cloth, you\u2019re instead clipped onto a bungee rope before being sent into freefall from an elevated platform. The rope, anchored a stone\u2019s throw away, eventually catches you and sends you swinging through the trees, hopefully with your eyes open so you can take in the views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our fave: <\/strong>While 100% Aventura\u2019s Tarzan swing might be higher, the swing at Monteverde Extremo Park<\/a> has a floor that collapses out from under you. This increases the adrenaline for thrill seekers, and ensures the more hesitant Tarzans don\u2019t chicken out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take an extreme buggy ride with Cerro Amigos<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Monteverde
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Monteverde, Costa Rica. monteverdetourscr.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be able to check out more of the Monteverde Cloud Forest (and quicker) by rolling on wheels, although it\u2019ll be in a somewhat less tranquil way to see the sights. Most of the adventure parks offer extreme buggy rides, or you can rent a four wheeler and stick to the public roads, getting to spots that are too far to walk to or too difficult to drive a normal car to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our fave:<\/strong>I rented a four wheeler and made my way up Cerro Amigos<\/a>, a mountain peak that offers amazing views of the town and surrounding forests. You can hike this trail, although it\u2019ll take a few hours and the incline should be taken into account before you choose to either ride or walk up it. It is steep<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk the line on a suspension bridge at Selvatura Adventure Park<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Monteverde
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Monteverde, Costa Rica.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For every mountain peak in the Monteverde Cloud Forest, there\u2019s a gaping gorge and these valleys are home to the greatest concentration of wildlife in the forest. The Costa Ricans have sniffed an opportunity and taken it with both hands, erecting some stunning suspension bridges that allow you to see all the forest floor action from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our fave <\/strong>The hanging bridges of Selvatura Adventure Park<\/a> were the pick of the bunch. You\u2019ll need to have a sharp eye to catch the wildlife, but that just makes it all the more exciting when you find it. And I\u2019d highly recommend paying an extra $5 to visit the hummingbird garden at the end. If you place your hand close enough to the feeders the little guys will perch right on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a horse tour with Horse Trek Monteverde<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Monteverde
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Monteverde, Costa Rica. horsetrekmonteverde.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The best way to see animals is from the back of an animal. I\u2019ve got no doubt that someone has said that before, I just don\u2019t know who. Horse riding is a popular pastime in the Monteverde Cloud Forest, as evidenced by the groups of saddled gringos forever trotting the main roads. While experience is helpful, it\u2019s certainly not a must \u2013 you can rest assured the gentle beasts have done this a thousand times before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our fave: <\/strong>We’ve heard a constant stream of praise for Horse Trek Monteverde<\/a>, who offer everything from two hour tours to eight day treks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climb to the top of a fig tree via TreeTop Climbing Monteverde <\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Monteverde
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Monteverde, Costa Rica. treetopclimbingmonteverde.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Monteverde is home to some seriously impressive timber. Ancient, gigantic ficus (fig) trees are unique in that their trunks are hollow \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our fave: <\/strong>Carefully curated tours like that offered by Treetop Climbing Monteverde<\/a> are great, but I\u2019d instead recommend enjoying Mother Nature\u2019s work as she made it. There\u2019s 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<\/em>. They\u2019re a bit of a local secret and don\u2019t appear on Google Maps, so I\u2019ve taken the liberty of dropping a pin<\/a> for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hike above the clouds at the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Monteverde
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Monteverde, Costa Rica.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something magical about hiking in a cloud forest. There\u2019s 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\u2019s as if you\u2019ve 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\u2019re exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our fave: <\/strong>The Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve<\/a>. Cheaper and less touristy than the more renowned Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve, you\u2019ll be able to wander through the forest largely alone, increasing your likelihood of seeing something special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
