Fodor's Review:

The 54,000-acre Children's Eternal Rain Forest (Bosque Eterno de los Niños) dwarfs the Monteverde and Santa Elena reserves. It began life as a school project in Sweden among children interested in saving a piece of the rain forest, and blossomed into a fundraising effort among students from 44 countries. Much of it is not open to the public, but the Monteverde Conservation League offers stays at San Gerardo and Poco Sol, two remote field stations within the forest. The $34 packages include dormitory accommodation and meals. Hiking tours of the forest are available

Cost: Forest $7; transportation from area hotels $2
Open: Daily 8-4:30

The reserve is easily walked and the self guided tour is wonderfully informative. The people are remarkably knowledgeable and the wildlife will blow you away. We saw monkeys, agoutis, coatis toucans, bellbirds and more. The night hike was also spectacular.
