To go by road from La Fortuna to the Monteverde Cloud Reserve is difficult. and takes a long time. The roads in this area are in a very bad condition and very windy.
However one can do a taxi-boat-taxi trip......across the Arenal lake.....pick up and drop off to the reserved hotels! Amazing views en route!
...all very well organized.......
Arriving at the hotel El Establo in Monteverde I was a little taken aback. I had also chosen this hotel because it was on the GAdventure list. It turned out to be many, many large buildings on a steep hillside....hotel shuttles needed to go anywhere on the property. I had a room in the building closest to reception......90 steps down and 90 steps up exteriorly for breakfast! Another 20 inside!
I signed up for a coffee tour at Don Juan.... it was actually very informative......
........with some nice chocolates to finish.....
One of the reasons this area is on everybody's list of places to visit in Costa Rica is to tour the Monteverde Cloud Reserve.......
Beautiful birds.... high up in the trees so difficult to see!
A quetzal.....
