Early pick up in the morning to take the Pan American Highway for two hours. Stopping for a delicious breakfast at a Costa Rican style restaurant. Then, we will leave the Panamerican highway to start a 2 hour drive uphill on a rough road until we reach 1500 meters above sea level.

We will hike in the cloud forest reserve where the Resplendant Quetzal bird can be seen. After hiking, lunch at a restaurant in town. The Monteverde area in Costa Rica is world famous for its cloud forest.

There are now two reserves, the original Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and the new Santa Elena Rain Forest. In these forests you can enjoy the cloud forest climate and hike the trails among varieties of plants and magnificent epiphyte ladened trees.

There have been over 450 bird species seen in the Monteverde area. The native birds are joined at certain times of the year by migrating birds from North America.

The resplendent quetzals with their long tails feed at various locations in the area and one can at times hear the "bong" of the bell birds. These areas sit astride the continental divide at an altitude above 5000 feet. They protect and provide a habitat for hundreds of species of plants and animals. After lunch, return to San José.
