Senda Monteverde 

Simple but stunning in a rare cloud forest setting

A mindful and meditative mountain escape where wild orchids bloom, ferns reach the sky and rare wildlife thrives.

This dreamy mountain lodge woos guests with far-reaching highlands views, private standalone bungalows and hyper-local food. You’re minutes from high altitude hiking and howler monkeys in Monteverde Cloud Forest and you’re backed by Aguti Wildlife Reserve – hop over the hanging bridge for access. Everything feels remote, yet Monteverde Town’s coffee shops and craft beer houses are just 15 minutes away.
