A Funny Little Hotel in the Forest

American Dream: A Zipline thru a Cloud Forest, a Simple Hotel to Recover In

The Monte Verde Cloud Forest was beautiful.  We saw Arenal, the volcano, from the zipline, but my camera didn't capture it.  It was too focused on the zipline I was about to force it to take.



Would you trust these two wires to hold you up as you flew 75 feet above the treetops?  Not to mention the treetops are probably 100 feet above the ground.  One, two, three and you're off!

A banana tree grew on the grounds of our little hotel in Monte Verde.  The purple thing is part of the banana plant.  Looks like a plum line.

The view from the grounds of our hotel in Monte Verde.  The pink and grey clouds are hiding the Gulf and Peninsula of Nicoya and the Pacific beyond.

The hotel office.  I told you it was a little place!  Rustic and simple, deep in the cloud forest, almost impossible to find at night (we learned that the hard way), but it got the job done.

    1. Hi, Amelia, I'll post a few more photos of the hotel, since you're interested. Watch for them on Wednesday morning!
