A breathtakingly dense and verdant tropical rainforest scene, with towering trees draped in vines and epiphytes, creating a lush canopy overhead. Beams of dappled sunlight filter through the dense foliage, illuminating the vibrant greens of the vegetation. In the foreground, large palm fronds with long, slender leaves stretch across the frame, their emerald hues contrasting against the deep shadows cast by the forest's understory. The image exudes a sense of primordial beauty and the rich biodiversity found in such pristine natural environments.

Monteverde Cloud Forest Adventure

On my #IntrepidTravel Way to San Jose Trip I visit #CostaRica's #Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, featuring more than 4,000 hectares of lush ecosystems, over 100 mammal specials, more than 400 birds and over 3,000 plants, including the largest diversity of orchids on the planet with over 500 species. The Reserve was established in 1972 to help stop the growing threat of settlers moving up the mountain. I start by #hiking the Sendero Nuboso which connects to Sendero La Ventana, heading up to the La Ventana lookout, the highest point in the Reserve at 1,840 meters (6,037 feet) above sea level. Such a beautiful #adventure!
