At first I was disappointed to have rain, but It made for a great hike.  After all, that's why they call it the rain forest!
Suspension bridge that takes you to a great spot for swimming in a waterfall pool.  You just have to conquer your fear of heights to do it!
The longest hanging bridge at Selvatura in Monteverde among the Cloud Forest. How amazing this simple view is. Surrounded by greenery, wildlife, and CLOUDS is so cool! What better way to dive into Costa Rica?

9.8/10 Exceptional! (1,002 reviews)
The restaurant food was okay, walking anywhere off property requires stamina (quite steep), but other than that, you’d be hard pressed to find a nicer place with nicer staff. Stunning, classy, and comfortable. Beautiful property in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
