What to Do / Activities in Monteverde:

1. The night-time nature walks are overrated. You will see a lot of bugs, but not much else. So unless you are really into nature walks, you could skip it.

2. When choosing a river rafting tour, find out the level of the rafting to make sure it is what you want. I was told my rafting would be level three and it was more like level one and two. Also, find out how big the group it. I went with a group of 10 and then my group was combine with a tour bus of forty people. At different points on the river we kept having to stop and wait for other boats.

Lodging in Monteverde:

The hotels are rustic, so don't expect the 4 or 5 star hotel quality, you are used to in other places. You may be "roughing" it a little bit.
