Monteverde

My partner and I had a great time in Monteverde. Everyone was very friendly. The food was good, mostly comparable to US prices. 
We went zip lining which I thought I would be scared of, but it was actually an incredibly fun experience. It was expensive but we had a big budget for our vacation. We also stayed at a great glamping Airbnb and got to watch fantastic sunsets every night. Our Airbnb was a bit of a drive from the main attractions but we had a good rental car with AWD which I was very glad we got.
