Monteverde - Selvatura Park

We visited Selvatura Park set 1600 metres up in the cloud forest where we hiked the Canopy Walkway, a 3 kilometre trail incorporating a series of suspension bridges set high above the forest canopy. This operation had a much more commercial feel about it, catering to large numbers of tourists.  The paths were largely concreted over, and the presence of nearby zip lines seemed to us to have driven most of the wildlife away.  Compared to St Elena cloud forest and the night walk it was a disappointing experience.  We did, however, enjoy another opportunity to photograph humming birds, and to see some of Costa Rica's resident species of butterflies.
