Tour the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve in Costa Rica, an enchanting destination on the continental divide that spans over 35,000 acres (14,200 ha) and eight life zones. Home to over 100 mammal species, 400 bird species, and 1,200 reptiles and amphibians, it’s one of the few places where all six species of cats, including jaguars and pumas, coexist. Ideal for birders and nature lovers, Monteverde combines the best of the natural world with life in the forest, offering chances to spot the resplendent quetzal, walk on hanging bridges, admire more than 35 species of snakes and reptiles in Monteverde’s serpentarium, and visit Trapiche coffee farms for traditional coffee production insights. Adventure seekers can rely on our expertise to craft the most immersive experiences, from zip-lining through the canopy to hiking Selvanatura Park's trails that reveal the forest's rich biodiversity.

Our advisor at Adventure Life, Mary Curry, was knowledgable and quick to respond with answers to any questions we had. She made our booking efficiently and set up a time for us to make a secure payment through her directly. We’ve used Adventure Life repeatedly and would definitely recommend it.

I selected Adventure Travel as I was not satisfied with the responsiveness of the agent for the cruise I was trying to book and it had good recommendations. So far, I am quite happy with my agent, Betty, very responsive and accommodating.
