I recently wrote a post entitled “Where is Everything In Monteverde?”It was chock full of useful information about what is available in the Monteverde area, and how to find what you’re looking for in Monteverde, thanks to a handy map of the area which encompasses Monteverde, Santa Elena, and Cerro Plano.
Monteverde is the general name used to describe the area around the Monteverde Cloud Forest, but it’s a little misleading because the place actually includes several small neighborhoods which are all quite close together- Monteverde, Cerro Plano, Perro Negro, and Santa Elena, which is the largest of the neighborhoods.
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.
It’s always a pleasure when we see the good word about Costa Rica traveling the world, especially when they feature our beautiful hometown in the mountains. And The UK’s Sunday Times went into depth into both this week, thanks to a wonderfully-done travel guide by destination expert Lucy Perrin.
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.
