Well worth a stop to breathe in this envigorating power. You can walk around the back of the fall and stand fully behind it. Wonderful for photos and remember to get the excellent shot about a mile down the road looking back through the green forest. It is definitely worthwhile paying for a guided tour if you want to stand a chance of spotting anything more than a plant that looks like the one at home and a few butterflies. Every birdwatchers dream is to spot The Resplendent Quetzal, a colourful bird ressembling a punk.
Hummingbirds are everywhere and photo opportunities abound.
You can stay either in Monteverde or nearby Santa Elena. This a lovely beach resort on the Pacific Ocean where you can relax and catch some well-deserved rays after storming your way around the beautiful National Parks of Costa Rica. The beach is beautiful and seemingly endless. It's a true backpacker community with lovely little caf s and events laid on. One drawback of the place is the size of the rollers that continue to crash onto the beach.
