Monteverde is a very interesting area. We hiked the hanging bridges which were uncrowded due to 50+ mph winds. Although the winds prevented us from seeing any wildlife it was a great walk. Freddie was very friendly but a little unfamiliar with the area. His English was ok but communication was a challenge at times. Traffic was very heavy in both directions
Dislikes
The drive turned about to be 7 hours round trip. More than expected. Given the 10 hour duration this left little time for exploration out side of the hanging bridges. We attempted to hike in the reserve but while waiting in the long line we realized we were out of time and headed back.
Pro Tips
- be prepared for drastic changes in weather, we experienced upper 50 s and mid 90s during this tour. Wind and rain very likely.
