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.

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.

Part 3 of the What on Earth is That? series is going to be all about veggies. If you’ve been following along and learning all about the amazingly varied selection of fruit available at your typical Costa Rican market, it won’t surprise you to find out that the vegetable selection here is just as exciting.

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.
