Northern Mountains and Plains
This area is located just few hours away from San Jose downtown, and represents the rural living of the country. From the low lands to the cloud forest, we will find here small hotels and lodges that will host you in a simple, but stylish way. The North area is special for those who are looking for adventurous experiences. The North lowlands are especially dedicated to agriculture and cattle, which makes this area one of the most prosperous zone of the country. It is also abundant in mountains, rivers, lakes, wild refuges, caverns, waterfalls and volcanoes, being Arenal Volcano the most active and famous of the country, which started its activity in 1969. The cloud forest of Monteverde is developed in various protected reserves by different associations, where bird watching and hiking are among the most interesting activities of the area. Its cold weather and the peace of its town will give one of the most unbelievable experiences of the rural sites. In Monteverde you will be able to be in direct contact with nature: take a hike in any of the trails of the various reserves, visit the hanging bridges, the hummingbird gallery, the serpentarium and/or frog sanctuary.
