Monteverde Cloud Forest


Dense, lush, and green in the Cloud Forest

Hanging bridge

Looking down into the jungle 

I'm scared of hummingbirds?!?!?

Hummingbird garden

This is actually an insect, not a stick!
Today we went on a hike up in the cloud forest. At the cloud forest we were hoping to see a quetzal but we didn’t. L We did see a really cool stick insect that looked exactly like a stick!  It was really green and a really crazy jungle!  We found a hanging bridge that was so high in the air and would swing and bounce when you walked across it.  After the hike we went to a hummingbird garden that had at least 50 hummingbirds. I even touched one with my hand! After the walk we went to a café and got a brownie.  Mmmmmm! Then we went back to our cabin and had a little rest.  When it got dark we left to go on a night walk. On the night walk we saw a big fat sloth, two kinkajous, two pit vipers and a lot of sleeping birds. I also liked to see all the bugs, like crickets and cockroaches. After the hike we were so hungry so we went to a restaurant called Sabor Tico. I got a quesadilla that had really weird cheese in it. Then we went home and went to bed. 

Cool fact: When you touch a hummingbird it feels like petting a fluffy dog.
