episode transcription
Hello, I am glad to greet you, I am Yael Yancelson and today we are going to live an extreme experience with adventure tourism in a region of Costa Rica called Monte Verde, so breathe, close your eyes and let yourself be guided, we begin.
When it comes to adrenaline, height, vertigo, and extreme emotions, Costa Rica is the best option, so the first stop is Monteverde, a city in the mountainous northwest of Costa Rica. It is recognized for its biodiverse cloud forests. The famous Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is home to countless species of wildlife including jaguars, ocelots, and the resplendent quetzal with colorful feathers. Ferns and orchids can be seen on the reserve’s marked trails, and there are high-suspension bridges that allow you to walk over the forest foliage. This is one of the most privileged places in the world, where more than 2.5% of all the planet’s diversity is concentrated, only in this mountain biodiversity is spectacular. Isn’t that awesome?
The Monteverde Cloud Forest is located in the Tilarán mountain range, in what is known as its western slope. It is a very important destination in terms of ecotourism in the country and looks, they tell us that the most common bird in this place is the quetzal, did you see them? The Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve is one of the first to be created since it was opened in 1972 to serve a number of scientific purposes.
In addition, it is one of the largest, since it has 10,500 hectares.
Now we come to another ideal place to enjoy this exuberant nature from above, it is the suspension bridge that is located in the Monteverde Reserve. We can also contemplate spectacular landscapes and connect with nature in the Santa Elena Reserve, the Curicancha, the Children’s Eternal Forest, or the Monteverde Ecological Sanctuary.
Monteverde is one of the Seven Wonders of the country and was even considered the “jewel in the crown” by National Geographic. It is not uncommon to see a jaguar or a puma lurking in the undergrowth, along with other tropical animals such as monkeys, sloths, snakes, and of course a wide variety of frogs. Costa Rica’s famous red-eyed tree frog can be found if you look closely, and the forest was once home to the elusive golden toad, now thought to be extinct. For a truly unique experience, book a hike night, beginning at sunset. The many nocturnal animals that live in the forest come to life, so keep your eyes peeled for armadillos, spiders, pacas, ocelots, owls, snakes, and more.
In Monteverde Cloud Forest we can enjoy a zip line that will seem to direct you directly to the clouds. Let’s fly over the treetops and you will start to get confused in the fog thanks to its high altitude. Without a doubt, this is one of those activities that we should all do before we die. It gives a really special feeling, like flying and delicious freedom.
What do you think if we go to the Monteverde Extreme Park? It excites me a lot because it has one of the most beautiful views in the area, along with the extreme adventure of admiring the natural wealth from above. So we arm ourselves with courage and have fun like children because we are going to Extreme Wing, which is a fall from the top of a tree in the best Tarzan style holding onto a rope.
to the Canopy Tour that are cables up to 2550 feet long and 450 feet high. Ready to Bungee Jump? Let’s jump together from a hanging platform in the middle of the forest to a height of cables, 450 feet. 1,2,3 heyyyyy!!! And to finish with so much adrenaline we got in a buggy car for the extreme mountain tour!
Wow, really fun and wonderful nature that can be seen here, I’m really enjoying everything and you? I would love to see your comments!!
We have been told that this area of Costa Rica produces a wide selection of really delicious cheeses, as it has numerous dairy farms where they are made. Dairies were established by early Quakers. These inhabitants immigrated to Costa Rica from the United States to escape compulsory military service and having to fight in the Korean and Vietnam wars. These immigrants founded and developed the community of Monteverde, being key in preserving the cloud forest.
And to rest a little what do you think if we enjoy a delicious coffee, you know that it fascinates me and Costa Rica boasts of cultivating one of the best coffees in the world, so let’s try and from so much activity the truth is that it already made me hungry, not to you? So if you like to cook click on the button or if you prefer to keep traveling.
And that is how we leave this beautiful and interesting region of the planet with the desire to return. We will travel every week to another corner of this wonderful world, to discover, enjoy and fly with the imagination, I wait for you every Friday and I ask you if you like to share the content with your friends and give me a like and a review of your comments because with that you help me a lot to raise the ranking of this podcast, ALTERNATIVE REALITY A UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT SPACE THAT CREATES COMMUNITY.
