Canopy + Sloth Sanctuary + Butterfly Garden + Liver - Excellent everything! In Canopy the guys were great!!! Very very attentive with us. We were with our 6 and 8 year olds. They had every consideration for them. Super recommended!!!!!
The sloth sanctuary was great! The butterfly garden and the reptile and amphibian display was very very good. The guide who touched us knew a lot and explained us very patiently. Divine!

See everything in a day - Exceptional day out, even in the rain. Myself and 9 year old daughter had a great time in the zip lines. Followed by hot chocolate and cake. We then did the sloth sanctuary, buttery sanctuary and reptile house. Followed by delicious lunch. Before completing the 3km hanging bridges walk

Nature walk with kids and grandparents - We did the bridge walk with a naturalist guide who did the tour in English. We saw 400% more animals than we would have without the guide and loved the bridges. We had an age span of 4 to 74.
In a day we did the hike, canopy tour, lunch, and sloth exhibit. We were the first shuttle in and last out. Loved it.

Sensations in complete safety! - We spent the morning with our 2 children 7 and 10 years old. They enjoyed it! A shuttle picks you up from your hotel (the road is bad and I think they also want to avoid congestion / want to smooth the passages ) / it is the reception that organizes this when they ask you what activity you have booked / it is included in the price / 25 minutes of minibus from the center of Monteverde. Then don’t worry about the queue to show the tickets and get equipped: it goes fast.
Once equipped, you still have to take a mini van for 4 minutes drive to get up to the zip lines. 5 minutes of walking, 5 minutes of explanations then it went for 16 zip lines / when I saw the world at the start, I really thought it would last forever between two zip lines: not at all!
It is extremely fluid and professional! They take care of everything and hook you very quickly to each zip line, they guide everything. You just have to enjoy the view with each zip line! Personally, we were in the fog and rain but still enjoyed going over the trees! Something magical! You can also make the jump from Tarzan, a rope jump in the void / some ($13 extra) can do the last zip line (1km) lying on the stomach - superman / it has to be said at the beginning.

To do. - We had a great time. The zip lines are superb and the supervision perfect.
We also did suspension bridges and sloths. Also pzrfait. Small downside for the side items that I find overpriced (shop, meals, etc.).

Overrated - It is not worth taking the suspension bridges tour, very boring, you do not see animals, it is not worth it. The canopy (zip line) tours look better. Avoid the restaurant to eat, the food is mediocre and the service is bad. They have good drinks if you want to have something before or after but in short the place is very expensive for what it is.

Factory park that explores animals and turists! - Monte verde and its nature it’s great but this park in particular is like a FACTORY! Made to explore people and animals!
We were charged 180 dollars for a complete history tour for about 2 or more hours and after 50min we were rushed into the bus! People coming and going, like factory and making a group of business people to earn quick and easy money! I absolute do not recommend. At the shop, a simple jacket that cost 30-45 dollars, they are trying to sell for almost 100.
I sent an email to Juan Pablo Barquero who is at complaint department and he sent me a pro forma copy-paste response, not responding exactly to what I said.

Dangerous & poor facilities - Dangerous & badly maintained-avoid at all costs or you risk your life. Poor facilities generally- no viewing platform, horrible food, very poor transportation back to hotels
