Monteverde was first inhabited in the 1930's by Costa Ricans colonist who were trying to make a living by logging and farming, claiming undeveloped land quite similar the the early far west times. In 1949, 4 pacifist Quakers from Alabama were jailed for refusing the Korean War draft. After getting out of jail along with their community of Friend's (the other name for their Christian religious group) they searched for a country where they could live in peace. Costa Rica attracted them because it does not have an army and the Monteverde area was interesting because it was so green, underdeveloped & the cool climate was perfect for dairy farming.
In 1951, 44 Quaker settlers from 11 families came to the area and coined the name Monteverde (meaning green mountain in Spanish). They brought with them their sense of friendship & cooperation. The seeds of many community organizations.
In Monteverde Costa Rica rainforest you can find more than 100 species of mammals including 5 species of feline, over 400 species of birds including 30 kinds of hummingbirds, tens of thousands of insect species (over 5000 species of moths) and 2,500 species of plants (420 kinds of orchids). The area is acclaimed as one of the most outstanding wildlife refuges in Central America.
A walk through the Monteverde cloud forest reveals a lush green garden of mosses, ferns, flowers and epiphytes growing thickly on every tree. Clouds drift in and settle among the slopes, giving the continuous moisture required for such exuberant plant growth. Dangling roots and vines sweep across the trails. The air is rich with the sounds of birds and the occasional scurrying of small mammals on the forest floor in Monteverde is always magic.
Monteverde is a highland forest characterized by nearly 100% humidity throughout the year. Here in the Monteverde Reserve, warm North-Easterly trade winds, filled with moisture, blow in over the Atlantic. As the winds sweep up to the Continental divide, they cool and condense to form clouds, bathing the Monteverde forest in a constant soft mist. The Monteverde cloud forest receives our meters of rain every year- that is almost twelve feet.
One of the Monteverde cloud forest characteristic is the abundance of vegetation. Competition for growing space is so intense that trunks and branches are almost entirely covered with a variety of epiphytes, lichens, liverworts, bryophytes and mosses. The epiphyte mats store moisture, which is specially important in the dry season (February to May). The lush cloud forest canopy of Monteverde is thus home to many species of insects, amphibians, and mammals which never even come down to the forest floor. is a highland forest characterized by nearly 100% humidity throughout the year.
