Monterverde National Park Attractions, Northern Zone, Costa Rica

Monteverde Hummingbird Gallery
The Hummingbird Gallery, just before the entrance to the Monteverde Reserve, features the photography of Michael and Patricia Fogden. The Fogden's spend months at a time with sloths, frogs, snakes, insects, and birds, trying to get just the right shot. They also sell beautiful and inexpensive Guatemalan textiles, T-shirts, and high-energy snacks for the trail. There are feeders outside the gallery that attract a wonderful variety of hummingbirds. We suggest you stop by on your way to or from the Reserve.

Monteverde Cheese Factory
The famous Monteverde Cheese Factory sells 14 types of cheese including: cheddar, jack, Gouda, and Monte Rico. You can also buy great homemade whole-wheat bread and rolls, fresh milk, and cajeta (scrumptious milk fudge) there.

Monteverde's CASEM Arts & Crafts
For arts and crafts, be sure to stop by CASEM, a cooperative of local women who make beautiful embroidered and hand-painted clothing and souvenirs portraying quetzales, golden toads, and other cloud forest flora and fauna. It's located on the right next to the food co-op as you enter Monteverde.
