We’ll make our way up the infamous Monteverde road, stopping periodically to take in the amazing scenery. Once we arrive in Monteverde it will be up to you to decide how you want to experience the cloud forest.

Le nom du plus large volcan du Costa Rica, Rincon de la Vieja (Coin de la Vielle) provient d’une ancienne légende indigène à propos d’une guérisseuse solitaire. En plus de ses qualités géothermiques intrigantes et exotiques, le secteur La Pailas du Parc National, au piémont du volcan, permet l’observation d’une riche flore dans cette forêt tropicale sèche.
El Rincón de la Vieja presenta una variante de ecosistemas etiquetada en altitud, las precipitaciones y la actividad volcánica. La flore de cette région incluye las orquídeas Guaria Morada, fleur nationale costaricaine, le Guanacaste, l’arbre national du Costa Rica, y d’autres arbres tels le cèdre tropical, le ficus étrangleur, et le copey. Quelques 300 espèces d’oiseaux ont également été dénombrés notamment, le motmot, le guan crêté, y le Toucanet Émeraude. On y retrouve aussi le cerf, le coati, le pécari, la moufette, le coyote, le puma, le tatou, le tayra, l’agouti, le paca, le paresseux, le singe, le fourmilier y le serpent à sonnette.
