El Tigre Waterfalls is a project in the outskirts of the Monteverde region. With 148 acres (60 hectares) of primary and secondary rainforest, it encompasses four waterfalls, a couple of hanging bridges (not the wide, metal ones, but the ones made of rope and wood), tree trunk bridges over the river, and great trails. 

In our last post, we met Roberto, the artist behind all the deliciousness of our breakfasts at Nectandra Restaurant in the Ocotea Boutique Hotel. 

One of the most beautiful things about a boutique hotel is the personalization you find behind every detail.

A packing list for Monteverde may sound relatively easy. The place is in the mountains, and it is a cloud forest. How hard can it be? Well, there is more to it than you may think.

A packing list to go to Monteverde might not seem hard to put together. You will be staying in the luxurious ambiance at the Ocotea Boutique Hotel. And the mountainous region around us, although rich in pure wilderness, tends to have a gentle climate, mild weather, and very few mosquitos. 

Monteverde is a fantastic region, sheltering one of Costa Rica's cloud forests, and there is a bit for everyone to experience all year round. It is also one of the few regions in Costa Rica where there are three climatic periods, not only two.

Monteverde has a lot to offer when it comes to beautiful landscapes. Supported by a joyful and progressive community and driven by sustainability, wherever you look in Monteverde, you will find beauty. Pure and wild, nature lives through everything, and it shows.

Costa Rica, from a distance, can look like the very essence of romance. To some, it is a realm of tropical beaches with warm waters and palm trees moved by the breeze. A place that seems to come out of a fantasy film.

One of the most amazing things about Costa Rica is how much there is to see in such a small country. This is a country where you can wake up to see the sun rising on the Caribbean Sea and travel for just a few hours through breathtaking landscapes, climates, and life systems. From the luscious humid rainforests of the East Coast to the cloud forests upon the mountains and the rare dry tropical forest, you would see the sun setting on the Pacific Ocean.
