Experience It! Monteverde Cloud
Forest
There are only four places in the world with an ecosystem so
unique that it produces a cloud forest. The Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa
Rica is one. Situated high on a mountain, the cloud forest is created when
the arid air from the forest below the mountain combines with the moist, hot
air of the rainforest. The result is a blanket of misty, wispy clouds that
linger low in the forest, making it feel as if it were raining. This rare
environment breeds a diverse world of exotic flora and fauna. One of the
cloud forest's most famous residents is the endangered resplendent quetzal.
A remarkably-colorful bird, this creature sports a golden beak that
protrudes from a green-hooded head. The breast is a vibrant scarlet and the
tail feathers are gray, black and white. A highly-elusive bird, quetzal
sightings are rare but absolutely unforgettable.
