area at around 1,400 metres, known for its cloud forest, a misty, moss-covered rainforest kept wet by clouds blowing across the Continental Divide. It is one of the richest places for wildlife in Costa Rica, with hundreds of bird species, including the resplendent quetzal, as well as sloths, monkeys, frogs and orchids.\r\n\r\nThe area was settled in the 1950s by American Quakers, who set aside land to protect the forest, and it now has several reserves. The main town, Santa Elena, has hostels, restaurants and tour offices, and a cooler, fresher climate than the lowlands, so bring a jacket.\r\n\r\nMonteverde is the place for canopy adventures: hanging bridges, long zip lines and a Tarzan swing. Night walks reveal a different forest, full of insects, frogs and sleeping birds.
