Overview

As only 1% of all remaining forests on the planet are classified as cloud forests, here you have the opportunity to walk through clouds in a very dense tropical forest. We only care about what we understand so even animals are not something you are going to see in big quantities, you will enjoy and learn the magic of the massive diversity of aerial plants.

Cloud Forest Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

The Cloud Forest tour with Marvin was amazing. He was super knowledgeable, was great with the kids, and even saved us from a falling tree! Marvin es el Mejor!

Highly recommend!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna in the area. It was obvious that he loves what he does and is passionate about the cloud forest. We had a great time on our private tour of this special place. Highly recommend!

Glorious Cloud Forest Tour

Published on Apr, 2024

Our guide (Deiner Campus) was fantastic: extremely knowledgeable, and incredibly good at spotting creatures from a distance. His interdisciplinary knowledge of flora, fauna, insects and ecology is truly impressive. The tour was soggy, as one might expect in a cloud rainforest, but Deiner made this a wonderful experience. A definite highlight!

A Perfect Walk Through Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve

Published on Feb, 2024

Rodiber made this one of the most memorable parts of our trip. He explained everything very thoroughly and was great to walk with in the forest. He has a great eye for the animals too, seeing many birds, including an elusive resplendent quetzal. We loved how he could easily tell what bird was making what noises as well as all the hiding places for the tarantulas. His tour blended Central American history with biology. Would definitely book with him again.

A really great experience

Published on Jan, 2024

Rodiber was a great guide - knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about his country and the Santa Elena cloud forest. We had a 3-hour guided walk with him and barely saw anyone else, which was really special compared to the crowds in other national parks we visited.
