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?

The view was amazing and the AC in the bedrooms was so nice. It would have been nice to have AC in the main living area so we could also enjoy that space without the major heat and humidity. Overall, we enjoyed having a space to make breakfast and a place that fit our entire family.
