Arancibiaの天然記念物・トップ5

Do you know the Strangler Ficus? The gap in the center of the trunk was originally occupied by a tree. The characteristic of the Strangler Ficus is that it grows from top to bottom! Its seeds are deposited at the top of a tree by monkeys or birds. The roots seek food and descend like vines. When they reach the ground, they thicken, suffocating the host tree. After 300 or 400 years, it gives a wooden cathedral.

Yes, the Monteverde Cloud Forest has earned its reputation. Water drips from the trees and fog stalks hang in the treetops.

The ferns in the cloud forest are fantastic and some are over 2 meters tall.

Great view of the forest from above. You are in the middle of the treetops. Awesome!

Without a guide, you hardly see any animals. You can find a few birds, caterpillars and monkeys yourself, but the well-camouflaged insect world remains hidden from the layperson. So it's best to go with a guide if you can get one. Unfortunately, we were too late... Book at least 2 days in advance: https://cloudforestmonteverde.com/our-tours/

Few animals to see but great nature

The highlight of the hike: the waterfall in the heart of the jungle! Gorgeous. Be careful, a lot of steps to reach the point of view

Entrance to the Reserve. The caretaker is very nice. Incredible experience in the heart of the Cloud forest. I recommend taking the bigger tour, to see the fumaroles and reach the waterfall, which is worth a look.
