Take one of Costa Rica’s most diverse natural history walks! Positioned a top the Continental Divide in western Costa Rica, the Preserve extends down both the Caribbean and Pacific slopes. The resulting combination of climatic and geographic factors creates temperature and humidity gradients which change dramatically over relatively short distances. This Cloud Forest homes unique animal species such as the red and blue Poison Arrow frogs as well as the Golden Toad, practically impossible to see at present. Splendid quetzals and Bell-birds fly about the canopy of the forest trees, and iridescent hummingbirds hover around in search of nectar. Because of the activity patterns of animals in this forest, we recommend taking this tour early in the morning so that you can live the experience of seeing wild animals in their natural habitat.
