Monteverde Biological Cloud Forest Reserve Take one of Costa Rica’s most diverse natural  history walks!   Positioned atop the Continental Divide in western Costa  Rica, the Preserve   extends down both the Caribbean and Pacific  slopes.                                                     The resulting   combination of climatic and  geographic factors creates temperature and humidity   gradients which  change dramatically over relatively short distances. Splendid quetzals  and Bell-birds   fly about the canopy of the forest trees, and  iridescent hummingbirds hover   around in search of nectar.  Because of  the activity patterns of animals in this   forest, we recommend taking  this tour early in the morning so that you can live   the experience of  seeing wild animals in their natural habitat.
