After checking in at Selvatura Park, set out independently along a maintained cloud-forest trail. The route moves through different forest levels and over eight wide suspension bridges, creating changing views of the canopy, ravines and surrounding vegetation.

This is a self-guided nature walk rather than a guided wildlife tour. Take your time, listen for birds and enjoy the forest atmosphere, but remember that wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Mist and rain are part of Monteverde’s cloud-forest environment, so arrive prepared for changing conditions.

Timing, access and operating conditions may change because of weather, maintenance or park requirements.
