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.

I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

We went to the Patagonia on the Chile side and Perito Moreno in El Calafate, Argentina. Eric of San Diego handled our trip with expertise. The preparation went smoothly, despite some changes on our part with scheduling conflicts. He offered great advice which made us feel at ease with all decisions on the trip. It was truly a great experience.
