One of the best-value bases for your time in the area, the Monteverde Cloudforest Lodge has a simple but rustic charm. Rooms are functional but clean and comfortable, all featuring private bathrooms and a small porch where you can sit out and listen to the sounds of the cloud forest. The tranquillity of this location and its well-tended grounds which attract myriad birds and butterflies are our favourite aspect of a stay here, but you are also assured a warm welcome by the friendly staff. Be sure to explore the four kilometres of on-site forest trails which take you through a private reserve of primary and secondary forest.
