  1. Zipy Ride

    The Wood Pack was perfect for exploring Selvatura Park without doing the zipline. Walking across the hanging bridges gave us incredible views into the misty cloud-forest canopy, and the trails were beautiful from beginning to end. The Butterfly Garden was a relaxing finish, and the guide shared interesting details about the different species and their life cycles. Give yourself enough time, wear comfortable shoes and bring a rain jacket. This was a memorable and easy-to-enjoy Monteverde
