We are in the Santa Elena Reserve volunteering for two weeks. I wondered if any one had any suggestions for SPECIFIC tours they took that they thought were outstanding. Did you prefer one tour company over another? Thank you so much!

We really enjoyed the night hike at Hidden Valley. We trooped around with flashlights and saw a fox, raccoon, sloth, porcupine and other critters. We got put into a great group so we had lots of fun.
One great tour in Monteverde is the train tour.
I took this tours couple of months ago, it was really funny and different I couldn't imagine a train across the forest. There is the website: http://www.monteverdecloudforesttrain.com/
Enjoy Monteverde... Bye
The night hike is awsome. Consider going to the one at the UGA research facility/compound.

Also, we enjoyed Selvatura. DO NOT purchase the tickets in town. Go the the sales desk at the gift shop on site. The girls there will take care of you without the markup the "salesmen" receive at the in town location.
Have fun!
THANK YOU EVERYONE. Your suggestins were great.....and our calendar has been more than filled. To your list we also went to the Orhid Reserve and learned that vanilla beans come from a species of orchids. Visiting the Monteverde Cloud Forest was breathtaking. We went to the Continental Divide...amazing. Thank you again for your ideas! Next week we will be working at the Santa Elena Reserve clearing trails...and sorting recycled items for the community at the high school in Santa Elena. Quite an adventure!
