At 4,600 feet (1400 meters) above sea level, located next to the Cloud Forest, the Monteverde Lodge offers luxurious and comfortable accommodation on your Costa Rica tour. The Lodge has quiet, lush gardens to relax in after a day of discovering the area or just to enjoy your morning and the views, sipping some tasty "Cafe Monteverde". Situated just outside the small town of Santa Elena, the Monteverde Lodge is conveniently close to the center and not far from attractions in Monteverde either.
The remote little village of Monteverde is mostly known for its majestic Cloud Forests. These forests, which are subject to mist and clouds year round, have an incredible rich flora and fauna and are shrouded in a mystic atmosphere. Walk around and discover their beauty and if you're lucky you might see the Resplendent Quetzal, other exquisite types of birds and maybe even some mammals. The area has other types of forest as well, that are equally interesting to visit, giving you an idea of the great biodiversity in Monteverde. If you're done hiking, there are various educational tours available like a Coffee Tour or the Monteverde Cheese Factory tour or you could challenge yourself on a Canopy zip line tour and fly through the tree tops.
The Monteverde Lodge is committed to keeping the tourism impact on the environment as low as possible by recycling, using solar panels and high efficiency lighting and water-saving fixtures. The restaurant at the lodge offers a combination of delicious local and international dishes, all with an "haute-cuisine" touch. After dinner the inviting fire place next to the bar is a good spot to unwind.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
Creating a checklist was very beneficial and meeting objectives on certain dates helped as well (to keep my trip organized). The Adventure Travel personnel helped keep me on track which is why my trip was so successful. Communication from both travel agencies (AT/MT) was vital.

This is an amazing company to work with. I generally do not use tour companies as I am more of an independent traveller so I was slightly reticent. They were fantastic from the start - 10/10 - from lining up a phone call to discuss requirements, then their ongoing communication in the lead up to the tour and during it (thank you, Franny and Phen). They also explored cost-effective options (eg group transfers). The tour was in Patagonia so Adventure Life organised a pickup from the El Calafate airport to the El Chalten accommodation, two day hikes with a private guide and then to the El Calafate accommodation. A tour coordinator came to the hotel to explain, using the maps, what was involved in each day tour and what should be expected, and patiently answered all questions. The tour guide Marcos was excellent - very professional, knowledgable, communicative and at all times felt very safe with his navigational skills (important in the Patagonian wilderness). On the second day I forgot to take hiking poles so Marcos kindly gave me his. I honestly wouldn't have changed a thing and would happily recommend and book through them again.

Adventure Life has been great throughout my planning process for our up and coming Galapagos cruise. Kevin Moore, in particular, was very helpful in assisting me in making choices and providing me with options. He was also very patient, as I worked through figuring out what I really wanted in this vacation.
