Montana Monteverde

High on the ridge above the coastal plain is the town of Santa Elena, and the adjacent farming colony and Cloud Forest Reserve of Monteverde. At an altitude of over 4000 feet, the tropical woods are composed of six different ecological communities, which differ from those found in the other communities. Consequently, the diversity of plant and animal life in the mountain of the Monteverde region is extremely high.

Over 2000 plant species are native of the area; more than 320 birds and 100 mammals have been observed. Outstanding species include the Black Guan, Great Green Macaw, Resplendent Quetzal, Three-wattled Bellbird, Bare-necked Umbrella bird, Baird's Tapir, Jaguar and Ocelot. The most brightly colored of all toads (El Sapo Dorado) occurs only in this one small part of the Monteverde Cloud Forest.

Located in one of the most spectacular settings in Monteverde, this beautiful mountain lodge offers you complete comfort with 32 spacious guest rooms, as well as a shared Jacuzzi, sauna, conference room, bar and restaurant which offers the specialflavors and charm of home cooked Costa Rican & French cuisine.

We stay in the Double Superior rooms at the Montana Monteverde. The Double Superior is a large room accomodating up to four people, with a big private bath, bath tub, hair dryer, one king size or two double standard beds, telephone, cable TV, a minibar, a private balcony with one table and four chairs, a safe box, and an excellent view.
