No trip to Costa Rica is complete (at least for me) without a jaunt into the Cloudforest. Unfortunately, we decided to travel in October which is the end of rainy season. Rainy season + cloudforest = massive downpours. We still had a ton of fun, but our walk from our hotel downtown to dinner was less than spectacular. Fortunately, the next morning was clear as we headed off for a canopy tour.
The canopy walkways are essentially suspension bridges at various heights over the forest floor. They allow you to get up into the higher part of the canopy where most wildlife actually live. Making it easier to spot them from a closer vantage point.
Monteverde is an excellent place to do a canopy walk, but it's also an incredible place to do an early morning hike in the reserve. Wildlife are most active just before and after sunrise and sunset. It makes for long days, but definitely worth while if you are a nature lover!
We have been working with Adventure Life for 5 years now and it is very easy to plan out our trips. Our holidays include customization of activities and side trips along with the standard packages available on the Adventure Life website. Kevin, Jess, Mary Rose and their teams have many recommendations that have enhanced our travel.

We had a great experience- they were very helpful in trip planning and making sure we got to do all the activities and see the places we wanted. There were some things we couldn't do/see due to the time of year being the rainy/low season and they steered us away from those. We had never been to Costa Rica before and it gave us a good overview of this lovely country.
