HOLA!!! WELL I FINALLY MADE IT IN TO MONTEVERDE AFTER A LONG 5 HOUR BUS RIDE INTO THE COULDS. AND WHEN I SAY CLOUDS I MEAN CLOUDS. I WAS SO AMAZED BY THEM AND HOW CLOSE THEY SEEMED. THE ROADS ARE VERY NARROW GOING UP INTO THE HILLS. AND PLUS IT WAS DARK AND I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING OOH HOW SCARY!!!!
I CHECKED INTO HOTEL CAMINO VERDE AND PLANNED SOME ACTIVITIES FOR MY FIRST FULL DAY IN MONTEVERDE. I SHEDULED A TOUR AT THE SANTA ELENA RAINFOREST @630AM.
WHEN I WOKE UP IT WAS POURING RAIN. THE BUS WAS SCHEDULE FOR PICK UP AT 630, BUT IT WAS MORE LIKE 700. AT THE RAINFOREST THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT TRAILS YOU CAN TAKE, BUT DUE TO THE RAIN WE COULDN'T TAKE THE LONG HIKE!!! AND ALSO DUE TO THE RAIN A LOT OF THE ANIMALS WERE HARD TO SEE. THE TOUR GUIDE SAID DURING THE RAIN THE ANIMALS LIE DEEPER INTO THE FOREST. BUT OVERALL IT WAS BEAUTIFUL SEEING ALL THE GREEN LIFE!!!

Hi Ebony, yes it´s a great experience to take the afternoon bus to Monteverde. You look down in the canyon and suddenly you sink in fog. You can´t see not more than a few meters and doubt ever arrive. However the driver do this job every day but avoid it to do it with a rental car. Saludos costaklaus - www.costaricaweb.de
