The hike in Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve was actually not very rainy. The thick canopy catches a lot of the moisture so it is more like walking in a cloud (well,duh). The phrase "forest primeval" came to mind. Our wildlife sightings included seeing a fox trot :-) across the trail. The trail reached a promontory on the Continental divide. On a clear day one can see both the Pacific and the Caribbean.
The day finished with a soaking in the hot tub while watching the sunset.
