Jamie's Central and South American Adventures
The most amazing experience of my life. I have wanted to go to Monteverde since I found out about it before I went to Peru 9 years ago. A trip 10 years in the making.... The cloud forest was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Santa Elena and the town of Monteverde are pretty touristy, but you can get away from it with a short hike. I stayed at Pesion Santa Elena which I recommend only if you like the noise of trucks and motorcycles or cigarette smoke in your food. Everybody smokes there! Coming from California where not many people do, it was gross. a couple nights I just ate in my room. Otherwise the place was nice and cheap.
In Monteverde I did one of the zipline/canopy tours. Yes, touristy, I know, but fun! Saw lots of cool birds, but to quetzals or bellbirds. I guess I'll just have to come back.... ;-)
