First sentence: Monteverde has been variously described as a virgin tropical cloud forest, a Quaker dairy community, an artists' commune, a haven for those seeking spirituality, a model for tropical rain forest conservation, and a "forest in the clouds" where the sound of the bell-bird's call and images of mist-enshrouded trees long linger in visitors' minds.
