Monteverde Cloud ForestBosque Nuboso Monteverde
These rare forests occur within tropical or subtropical mountainous environments where the atmospheric conditions allow for a consistent cover of clouds. Often taking the form of fog, the clouds hover around the upper canopy of the forest before condensing onto the leaves of trees and dripping onto the plants below.
