Cloud Forest - Monteverde, Costa Rica

I took a quick video to show the thickness of the clouds. The city is called Monteverde in Costa Rica. It is very lush rain forest, and the steep hills provide the perfect environment to grow coffee. The hiking trails were very beautiful, however it rained for all but 4 hours of our 2 and a half days there. Other than the rain, the roads to get to Monteverde are horrid; they are barely covered with gravel, very narrow, extremely bumpy, full of pot holes and on the edge of a cliff. The drive up there alone was a car sickening adventure. Unless you are totally granola, I don't know if the near death drive is worth it? However there are some really cool things inMonteverde like the live frog museum (the frog pond), great local food, live butterfly garden, impeccable hiking, good coffee and the infamous zip line.
