Our second big excursion was a long drive out to Monteverde - a "cloud forest." Not to be mistaken for a rainforest. It looks and feels like a rainforest, but it's up at a higher elevation.. in the clouds ha. This was definitely my favorite day. You'll see why :)
Beautiful scenery on our drive up to Monteverde
Our first stop in the "Cloud Forest" was the Reptile House...
Lots of cool frogs...
And snakes... eww!
Our second stop was the Hummingbird Garden which none of us really thought sounded that interesting... but in fact it was actually pretty cool!
There were hundreds of hummingbirds zooming through the air constantly (often right past your head ha ha!).
In the Hummingbird Gardens with our wonderful tour guide Mark
Next we went on the Sky Walk, which was an easy 2 mile walk through the forest. It took us over a series of 8 bridges - some closer to the ground, some in the middle of the trees, and others at the treetops and above.
Beautiful scenery - very green!
This just shows a little of how the bridges were (you can see one of them passing through the trees in the distance...)
"Hot Lips" flower
Lookin' totally stylish in our flashy ponchos :) We didn't think to bring rain jackets... but at least we had these!
To Be Continued...
