Monte Verde sits in the highlands of Costa Rica. We crossed Lake Arenal, with its namesake volcano covered in cloud behind us, and swapped from our boat into our "jeep" - which was actually a minbus that struggled up the steep dirt roads.
Monte Verde sits just to the west of the spine of the highlands, looking over the bay of Nicoya, the Nicoya Peninsula and onto the Pacific Ocean. We were lucky enough to arrive, after a dusty, bumpy couple of hours, just in time to catch the sunset.
We stayed at the Monte Verde Inn, five minutes out of town, because of its incredible position and the lure of its own hiking trails.
The trails were very quiet, and we met some of the locals.
Unfortunately my Spanish is not great so I couldn't ask their names. Please help if you can.
