Today in Monteverde, Costa Rica we were able to visit many more wonderful sights and popular attractions here in the city. There are so many places to go and things to see, but sadly our trip to Monteverde is being cut short so we only had time to do a few things on our third day in the city. One thing we did that was very fun was seeing the cloud forest.
The cloud forest is set on top of Costa Rica's continental divide. Due to city's high altitude of 4662 ft above sea level, Monteverde has a constant supply of clouds and the moisture that comes with them. This steady stream of moisture, that is mostly in the form of fog, helps the ecosystem grow and thrive. Visitors and residents can explore the beautiful rain forests and see the many animals and insects that live in the wilderness here.
The trip to Monteverde was very fun and we were able to learn a lot from the different ways of the people, environment, and animals that live in this cute city. However, we are planning on continuing our trip and moving up the coast to visit even more beautiful sights and creatures.
