According to me it is better to book an hotel at Monteverde to visit the park and the surrounding; the best which is at 800 m of the park entrance is the Trap Family lodge. Best Domi

When we went to the rainforest Tourte and Monteverde the RedCross was managing the parking lot. And you would take a shuttle up to the reserve. They protected our vehicle so it was safe to leave items in the car. But as a general rule there is enough wealth discrepancy that it would not be recommended to leave things in your car whenever that can be avoided.

I think you will be just fine. Do it at your own pace. We spent 9 hours in the park and there are a variety of trails. Some are tough and some not that bad. If you have the time, go enjoy it and take your time!

contact nasua tours oscar is very good

I would recommend staying a night just to be on the safe side. Although it is possible to do it in 1 day it would be a very long day. It took us 3 hours to walk most of the trails in the cloud forest. GPS (google maps) shows its a 3 hour drive from San Jose to Monteverde but the closer you get the Monteverde the worse the roads are...very windy and large pot holes which easily make it longer the 3 hours especially with weather. You should be taking route 605/606 when you get close to Monteverde which they were just in the process of paving when i was there a month ago so depending on when you go the conditons might be better for you then they used to be but still windy of course. We could have spent another 2 hours, maybe a little less completely all the trails but i didnt have much interest, i was slightly disappointed in the cloud forest. Nice walk but trails around Lafortuna/Arenal Volcano are much better in my opinion! Enjoy!

Hello!! Yes, you can found a tourist guide in Monteverde.

There are a lot of Airbnb properties available next in the area, in case that you’re looking for something more private or a little bit less expensive. Personally my favorite formal hotel in the area it’s called “Los Pinos” It’s a small ecological resort right next to “El Establo Hotel” which is the biggest and most luxurious in town. This place, “Los Pinos” is known for having beautiful Wood Cabins or cottages, they have organic plantations that you could harvest and they have their own small trail park. I hope this answer is helpful. :)
