Not sure if a visit to one of Costa Rica’s cloud forests is worth the trip? Think again. Costa Rica’s unique microclimates allow for these iconic cloud forests to emerge, creating a mystical landscape at high elevations. The best part? Each cloud forest is different, and there’s sites beyond Monteverde, the most popular of them in the country.
So, where can you find some of Costa Rica’s most unforgettable cloud forests?
Poás Volcano Cloud Forest
Ideal for thrill seekers, this cloud forest in central Costa Rica lets you explore both cloud forests and an active volcano in one trip. The site’s mixture of altitude and heat creates a foggy atmospheric experience sure to take your breath away.
Los Angeles Cloud Forest Reserve
Nicknamed “The Silence,” this cloud forest was named after its peaceful environment. Situated in Costa Rica’s Central Highlands, this cloud forest features moist conditions, high elevations and moss-covered trees, making the perfect setting for meditation, walks or other quiet activities like birdwatching. This cloud forest has fewer visitors than its Monteverde counterpart, allowing visitors to have a more serene experience.
