10 Best Things to Do in Monteverde, Costa Rica, Santa Elena, Costa Rica

I highly recommend the Canopy Tour with 100% Aventura Adventure Park. I have done many tours before but this one was simply awesome because you are flying hundreds of meters above the trees. They have two superman zip lines where you fly headfirst and the longest zip line in Latin America. It has a length of 1.590 meters including an incredible and unique view on the landscape.

Make sure you don’t skip the Mega Tarzan Swing at the end of the tour. It is similar to a 40 meters Bungee Jump and a great final of a tour full of adrenaline.

Do you want to see the Monteverde Cloud Forest from an aerial view? Then you should do the Sky Walk with Sky Trek. It is a trail with 6 suspension bridges that offer a different perspective of the forest. The trail has a distance of 2.5 kilometres and is mostly flat. You can either walk it by yourself or book a guide who will teach you a lot about the native plants and animal species.

You should definitely not miss the night walk at Monteverde. There are tours starting around 5.30PM and 8.30PM. I recommend the second tour as you will most probably see more animals. I saw a Sloth carrying a baby, tarantulas, 2 toucans, opossums, frogs and two Parrot viper snakes. It was an amazing experience to be so close to the nature. The only negative point is that the groups are with 9 people in my opinion quite big for this kind of activity. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
