One of the leading countries in ecotourism is Costa Rica, and it is not in vain as it has a nature so vast and rich that it deserves to be explored in a framework of respect for their conservation. Therefore, Monteverde is one of the sites listed by Newsweek magazine among the 100 must-see before you die. Here nature and man exploits is just an intruder who marvels at her. About 180 kilometers from the capital San José you can find some 10 000 hectares of pure green, on the mountains of Tilarán. The ideal place to appreciate all this beauty is the walk on hanging bridges. Seven crosses at the top of the jungle, with slatted floor to keep any of the visual. Thus, it starts off at a height that can reach 100 feet above the ground. But the leafy tops of trees do you lose a little idea of the height. Among the species found in this spectacular landscape of Monteverde, Costa Rica, we found five hundred species of birds, 120 species of amphibians and reptiles, and 2500 plant species. There are also cable cars and zip lines for those willing to explore other options to fly over the forests. In Monteverde you will find many accommodation options, including some farms offering rural tourism: visits to coffee plantations, mills and farms are offered as additional service.
