The Complete Guide to the Ocotea Boutique Hotel
The Ocotea Boutique Hotel is an extremely unique business in Monteverde for a number of reasons. Not only is it run by an exceptional mother-daughter team (which, in Costa Rica, is still pretty rare), but it was also designed and built with nature in mind, from the eco-friendly, sustainable features to the low-impact construction using locally-sourced materials.
5 Small Tips to Improve Your Monteverde Trip
Heading out to visit a new place is always an adventure. With the right amount of planning, it can be a wonderful experience… or not. There are always things you can’t control, like delayed flights or flat tires, that can keep things from running as smoothly as they might have… but we aren’t going to focus on those.
The Intangibles of Monteverde
So often when we talk about Monteverde, we talk about it in terms of the feelings we experience there. In many ways, that makes it difficult to describe exactly what it is about this amazing and awe-inspiring place that makes people want to visit. After all, we all experience beauty in a different way.
The Divine is in the Details
There are many beautiful places, scenic vistas, and mountains, but there is only one Monteverde. I say this not only because of the rarity of the cloud forest, which makes up only 1.4% of the world’s tropical forests. Or because of the fact that Costa Rica hosts 6% of the planet’s biodiversity while only having 0.03% of the Earth’s surface.
The Beauty of Monteverde Inside | An Interview With Our Designers
We recently did an article that discusses the Natural Modern style of design and how it was used to draw our guest’s focus to the beauty that surrounds the hotel and pulls that beauty inside providing a calm and relaxing space.
Monteverde Experiences
Monteverde is a place of diversity, both in terms of the incredible variety of life that thrives here and the many experiences that will appeal to different types of people.
Monteverde “One of the Most Beautiful Places in the World”
Residents of this amazing country have long been aware of the striking beauty of Monteverde’s lush green forests and dramatic landscapes, but when a publication as widely respected as Travel and Leisure Magazine shouts it to the world, it brings us a strong sense of pride.
Finding Beauty in the Green Season
As an ex-pat who lives in Costa Rica almost year-round, I often get asked about what it’s like in the less busy times of the year, like the green season… and my answer is always that Costa Rica is an amazing place to visit at any time of year.
