Day 3 - A long drive along rutted dirt roads brings us up to Monteverde Lodge in the Cloud forest. After a homestyle lunch, we drive over to the Selvatura suspended bridges for a hike through the canopy. Our guides are Carlos and Andreas and although the birds are hard to find in the thick foliage, they make their presence known through their calls and songs.
Day 4-Our second day at the Monteverde Resort gives us great sightings of the Emerald toucanet, the Yellow-throated euphonia, and the mammal of the day, a white-nosed-coati all on the grounds of the hotel. We travel to the butterfly garden and meet Zack, an American who is pursuing his doctorate in entomology. After lunch at Sofia Nuevo Latino restaurant, we move onto the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and visit a hummingbird site for some great photo ops of specialities like the Violet sabrewing. Tomorrw morning, its off to Lake Arenal.
