Hello!! Yes, you can found a tourist guide in Monteverde.

Hello there: I wish I could be fluent in French but I'm not yet. So here it goes. There is only ONE hanging bridge in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Preserve. You do not need to go to the bridge if you don't feel like crossing it. Our small Monteverde Community has no adventure tours up here. Hanging bridges, zip lining and canopy tours are NOT DONE here but in communities that are close by. We are all about conservation, research and education. Hope the translation is good enough. Enjoy your hike in the cloud forest. Sincerely yours, Dulce Wilson Monteverde Wild Hikes community manager and Nature Guide.

Recorrimos sin guía! No es realmente necesario... manejamos nuestros tiempos y admiramos la naturaleza

Buenas! las entradas no es necesario reservarlas salvo en días festivos como Navidad o semana santa ya que hay un aforo limitado pero allí y nos dijeron que solo en estos días se llega al aforo máximo) El guia si hay que reservarlo sobre todo si el tour es el primero de la mañana (7:30) o el tour nocturno (nosotros nos quedamos con las ganas de realizar el nocturno porque no había ya) ya que al ser una reserva privada tienen sus guías propios y se acaban. Se puede hacer a través de su página web o una vez allí si vais a estar varios días a través de la oficina de información y turismo del pueblo de Santa Elena. Si vais a Monteverde en coche de alquiler os aconsejo un 4x4 ya que gran parte del camino hasta la zona está sin asfaltar y son pistas de tierra. Espero haber ayudado!!

When we went to the rainforest Tourte and Monteverde the RedCross was managing the parking lot. And you would take a shuttle up to the reserve. They protected our vehicle so it was safe to leave items in the car. But as a general rule there is enough wealth discrepancy that it would not be recommended to leave things in your car whenever that can be avoided.

I think you will be just fine. Do it at your own pace. We spent 9 hours in the park and there are a variety of trails. Some are tough and some not that bad. If you have the time, go enjoy it and take your time!

contact nasua tours oscar is very good

I would recommend staying a night just to be on the safe side. Although it is possible to do it in 1 day it would be a very long day. It took us 3 hours to walk most of the trails in the cloud forest. GPS (google maps) shows its a 3 hour drive from San Jose to Monteverde but the closer you get the Monteverde the worse the roads are...very windy and large pot holes which easily make it longer the 3 hours especially with weather. You should be taking route 605/606 when you get close to Monteverde which they were just in the process of paving when i was there a month ago so depending on when you go the conditons might be better for you then they used to be but still windy of course. We could have spent another 2 hours, maybe a little less completely all the trails but i didnt have much interest, i was slightly disappointed in the cloud forest. Nice walk but trails around Lafortuna/Arenal Volcano are much better in my opinion! Enjoy!
