Monteverde Sky Walk Tour
Description
Monteverde which means ‘green mountain’ in Spanish, was founded by the Quaker community that migrated from North America to Costa Rica in the 1950’s. The most surprising thing you will notice when arriving in Monteverde is much of the town remains untouched by modernity.
When the Quakers founded Monteverde their main source of income was from dairy farming, the brand Monteverde was established here and produces some of the best dairy products in Costa Rica.
Monteverde is considered a major ecotourism destination in Costa Rica. This area was called by National Geographic as “the jewel in the crown of cloud forests''. By popular vote, Monteverde was voted as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Costa Rica.
