Costa Rica Gallery - Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve

The Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve is the home of gnarled, ancient trees draped in mosses, ferns, and epiphytes. True to its name, the cloud forest is typically blanketed in cool fog, but it is this ubiquitous moisture that encourages the forest’s exuberant plant growth. Backpackers often use the nearby village of Santa Elena as their base for exploring the reserve.
