For couples who dream of being immersed in nature without giving up comfort, Monteverde Costa Rica offers an unforgettable honeymoon in the clouds. Perched high in Costa Rica’s lush highlands, this cloud forest reserve is a haven for biodiversity, misty trails, and intimate eco-lodges.
It’s a destination where birdsong replaces alarm clocks, and adventure is just a hanging bridge or zipline away.
Home to hundreds of bird species, orchids, and ancient trees, Monteverde is a dreamy backdrop for newlyweds seeking peace and wonder. The changing mist creates a magical, ever-shifting landscape.
Couples can enjoy canopy zip-lining, hanging bridge walks, and night hikes. You can even visit butterfly gardens or coffee farms for slower-paced activities.
Lodges here are built to blend into the landscape, offering romance, privacy, and eco-conscious pampering. Think soaking tubs with forest views and fireplaces for cool mountain nights.
