Overview
Take a trip to Monteverde on your Costa Rica Vacation
Despite being a small town, Monteverde is one of Costa Rica’s most famous, and most visited, ecotourism destinations. Located in the Cordillera de Tilarán, the region is home to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, an increasingly popular spot with tourists on a Costa Rica vacation.
The area that now constitutes Monteverde was founded by American Quakers whose pacifist beliefs forced them to leave the United States during the Korean War in order to avoid the draft. The cool climate supported dairy farming and the Quakers were able to build a home. In 1972, scientists George Powell and Quaker Wilford Guindon established the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve to conserve the area.
