Amazing nature and wildlife — Edgars Untals Like

Hiking Cloud Forests in Monte Verde and Santa Elena, Costa Rica

The heat from the Pacific meets the warm air from the Caribbean to create the constants mists at Monteverde and Santa Elena Reserves. This creates unique greenery in the forest with over 3000 species of plants. In turn, hundreds of species of animals (some of them quite rare) come for the plants. Species previously found in these forests have gone extinct, so appreciate the wildlife while you can.
