Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve

In the Monteverde area of Costa Rica there is a high altitude rainforest, the cloud forest. You can go hike the preserve as well as go to Selvatura where there are additional bridges. Lots of wildlife to see. Make sure you take good hiking shoes and a raincoat. Also, if you drive to the area, rent a high clearance vehicle with 4x4
You can see all the green of the nature in Costa Rica (plus there is an awesome canopy trail too! Must try.)
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? #culture #costarica #travel
