Tucked at the foot of a cloud forest is the luxury mountain lodge Senda Monteverde. Perched high on a plateau overlooking the highlands of Costa Rica, you’ll enjoy spectacular sunsets from your suite and easy access into the nearby town.

You can enjoy this and so many more forest adventures during a family holiday to this eco-lodge.

Extra-large windows seamlessly blend the outdoors with the inviting interior space. Open-air terraces are the perfect spot for relaxing after a day of high adventure.
