Good intro to cloud forest

JoelBesse, July 2022

Rodiber was a very good guide. We observed various animals, including a viper posted 1m high, monkeys, over a 3.5h, quite strenuous trail.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hello Joel, Thankyou for visiting monteverde, that afternoon at Santa Elena was really good, though this is not the best reserve to see animals but to enjoy the real cloud forest, it was extraordinary. Keep having a good time.

De moeite waard

Rodibert was geweldig aardige en kundige gids. Prachtige wandeling en veel informatie over het nevelwoud en de dieren. Rustig park.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thankyou Christien for sharing your experience. Santa Elena Reserve is the less visited park in monteverde área and let us enjoy in a different way cause we meet fewer people on the trails and is a nature class. Thanks for coming.
