We made it to Monteverde from La Fortuna. On our way to Monteverde we made a wrong turn and actually headed towards Liberia. We realized it about 25 minutes into the trip and once we returned back on the right route it wasn’t long till we reached the rocky roads leading to Monteverde. The drive is mostly uphill and took a little longer than expected because of our tiny rent-a-car (damn you avis).
Our first day in town (4/24/15) we made our way to Selvatura Nature Park to visit the hanging bridges and butterfly garden. The butterfly garden was beautiful and filled with so many different species of butterflies. We were escorted by a guide named Hector who was very kind and knowledgable about the butterflies. Once our tour was finished we hiked through the forest to cross eight suspension bridges over looking the hills of Monteverde. We saw some cool wildlife and took some pictures along the way.
I will have pictures of our coffee adventure up tomorrow once we get to Jaco. We will be leaving early in the morning and hopefully get there around noon.
