Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve

The Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve, a private, not-for-profit preserve (not a national park) is one of the most successful wildlife sanctuaries in the world. Protecting some 100 species of mammals, 400 species of birds, 120 species of amphibians and reptiles, and 2,500 species of plants, tens of thousands of insect species. Larger animals, e.g., the Jaguar, Ocelot, Resplendent Quetzal and Baird's Tapir, also roam the preserve maintaining an ecological balanced research and observation resource. To avoid any possibilities of negative impact on the preserve, only 150 people are admitted at any given time. The official Visitors’ Station at the entrance to the park disseminates information about the park and its history and also presents a slide show which first-timers will find very useful.
