Fonda Vela - Monteverde / Cloud Forest Costa Rica

The Fonda Vela Hotel is located in Monteverde, world renowned for being home to the resplendent quetzal and hundreds of colorful bird species, for its diverse cloud forest reserve and its spectacular views of the Gulf of Nicoya and its refreshing climate, referred to as "eternal spring".

The hotel is nestled in a neatly landscaped 35 acre property with lush forests and verdant pastures. The hotel buildings have been designed to bring up natural lighting, privacy and warmth. Most rooms feature large windows with views of the rainforest . In this tranquil setting, visitors can walk through private nature trails that extend for about a mile and are ideal for bird watching and hiking. Parrots, emerald toucans, Quetzals and three-wattled Bellbirds are some of the birds that you may see.

Fonda vela is the ideal place for leaving stress behind, relaxing and enjoying a unique vacation. On this small piece of paradise guests will enjoy their days meditating about the healing wonders of nature, walking and feeling the freshness of the pure air around or just laying back with a glass of wine listening to the sounds of nature.

Monteverde

From San José, take the Inter-American Highway north to the 149 km. road marker. Turn right just before crossing the Río Lagarto and continue for 39 km to Monteverde, following the signs to the Monteverde Reserve. A second option, a part way paved road of approximately 12 km in construction from Sardinal to Guacimal. The road is 11km before the Lagartos entrance coming from San José, (possibly in the near future this will be your the best option). It is the first entrance on the right side 1.3 km after the Aranjuez River and a restaurant called "La Cuenca". The Fonda Vela is located 2 Km from Monteverde Reserve.
