Description:
| Monteverde is a small community located in the Tilarán mountain range. The community was founded by North American Quakers in the 1950's. Primarily a community of dairy farmers, the Quakers began conservation efforts of the cloud forest to protect the watershed. Today, the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve covers 10,500 hectares and receives thousands of visitors each year, making eco-tourism a big industry in this area. Despite the number of tourists, Monteverde and the adjoining town of Santa Elena (only 3 kilometers away) still maintain a small town community and a life that goes on outside the busy tourism industry. This program is ideal for nature lovers.
