The Northern Territories are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the wonders of the tropics. The areas of Monteverde and the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve, as well as the famous Arenal Volcano and its surroundings, are excellent destinations for eco-travellers and bird watchers.


The region comprises wondrous sites as the remote CaƱo Negro Wildlife Refuge that captivates adventuring travelers.


In addition to the natural beauty of the Reserve, the tiny, progressive Quakers community of Monteverde is, in itself, worth visiting. A wide variety of accommodations are offered, such as cozy mountain lodges or 4-Star hotels providing Spa treatments.
