Water


We refuse single use plastics (Hopefully you also do so, if not now when?) So we don't sell Water bottles.

Instead we encourage you to bring your own reusable bottle and refill it with our wonderful Monteverde Spring water.

Raingear


Sandals while ideal in other latitudes, is a poor choice to enjoy the cloud forest, (Snags, Snakes and Splinters love sandals tho…) in Monteverde we strongly encourage closed shoes when walking on any trail.

Rain is a common thing in the Cloudforest so having a drybag for electronics can be nifty when it starts to pour.

Sunblock and repelent is also essential to care for your skin especially if you visit us during the dryer months.

Research

Our small patch of forest has been involved in many studies that have allowed us to have a broader understantiding and clearer perception of our surroundings.

We want to thank all the biologists that visit us and also from time to time share in this space some of the work they do in our forest.

With great happiness we want to showcase de Work of the Biologist Dennis Finger from the University of California with Long tailed Manakins.

This short video is a window into the courtship dances of these fantastic birds, enjoy!

 

Also here are links to different oganizations who work in Monteverde that promote and create awareness and importance of science in our community:
