White-nosed Coati (sp. Pizote)

Bosque nuboso

Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is a private non-profit reserve (not a national park) administered by the Tropical Science Center. There are 6 distinct ecological zones in this reserve. It is called a cloud forest rather than a rain forest because of it's altitude: the clouds go thru the forest. The canopy is extremely rich with birds, insects, butterfly, and thousands of plants. Great bird watching, Resplendent Quetzal is usually seen in the March-April nesting season. Bring a warm jacket, raingear (a green poncho is just fine) and footwear for trail use. Rubber boots are usually not necessary due to the well-maintained trails. E-mail; montever@monteverdeinfo.com Phone 506 645-5122 , fax 506 645-5034
