Monteverde

It is a place of cloud forests and coffee plantations, monkeys, mist, and friendly locals. The town of Santa Elena is small and quiet. You can try here the local cuisine at one of the restaurants or visit some of the folksy artisan shops. The rainforest nearby hosts a remarkable amount of biodiversity.
