About Monteverde
Monteverde is not only the name of a small town but the name is also used to describe the whole zone. There are three communities in the "urban area???: Santa Elena is the largest, with a bank, shops and the local high school, and then next along the road is Cerro Plano and finally, Monteverde.
There are two routes to the Monteverde area . The one near Kilometer 134 goes through Sardinal (paved for a short distance) and the other begins near Kilometer 149 just before the bridge over the Rio Lagarto. The two join near Guacimal for the final climb. The bumpy road gives occasional breathtaking views of the lowlands below as you climb on roads that seem to hang by grace along the edge of the mountains. As you wind through thin clouds, cows across deep valleys look like brown or white dots scattered on the steep pastures. The slow going gives the visitor plenty of time to enjoy.
Besides the natural beauty of the place, the tiny, progressive community of Monteverde is itself worth a visit. Quakers from North America came here in 1951, drawn by Costa Rica's disarmed environment. They set up a business that now makes some the finest cheeses in the country. The Quakers bought milk form neighbouring farmers and invited them to become shareholders _ today there are about 430, including milk producers, employees and neighbours.
The main temperature at Monteverde is 56ºF to 68ºF (16ºC-20º). The average annual rainfall is about 118 inches (3,000 mm) but it can get up to 236 inches (6,000 mm) in the reserve.
There are a growing number of options for the nature traveller in the Monteverde area. Butterfly gardens, guided hiking tours through the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve or the Santa Elena Private Reserve, canopy tours, walking bridges, horseback riding.
