The amazing rain and cloud forests of Monteverde are home to a multitude of plant and animal life in its 25,000 plus acres. There are over 3000 species of plants represented in this reserve, of which over 400 are orchids. More than 1200 different species of insects and reptiles reside in the park, including many varieties of venomous and non-venomous snakes.
There are also over 400 species of birds to be seen at the reserve, including the Resplendent Quetzal, which migrates to the lower portion of the park in mating season and the endangered Three-wattled Bellbird. There are close to 30 species of hummingbirds that can be viewed in the reserve at any given time.
The Monteverde Reserve was originally founded by Quakers from the United States looking for sanctuary at the build up of the Korean War. They settled on Costa Rica because of its long standing peacefulness and lack of standing army. The Quaker’s generous donation to the Costa Rican government was instrumental to the founding of the Reserve which is now one of the 2007 Seven Wonders of Costa Rica. The Quakers maintain a fairly large community in Monteverde and operate an exceptional dairy and dairy products business.
The Trapp Family Lodge has incorporated the peaceful coexistence with nature that was so important to the founding Quakers, and has built an exceptional location for families and adventure travelers to enjoy the beauty around them. This cozy well maintained lodge should be considered by all traveling to Monteverde.
