The Establo Hotel
The Establo Hotel is one of the most iconic accommodations in Monteverde, located within the region's lush cloud forest in Cerro Plano. It was established in 1991 when a local family transformed a former cattle farm into a small 12-room lodge, giving the hotel its name as a tribute to its agricultural roots. As tourism expanded in Monteverdeāespecially after nearby biological reserves gained international recognitionāthe property grew into a large resort with over 150 rooms. Surrounded by protected forest, the hotel emphasizes environmental conservation through sustainable practices. Its facilities include nature trails, a spa, restaurants, and canopy tours, blending modern comfort with the rich biodiversity and scenic landscapes of the cloud forest ecosystem.

The Establo Hotel is one of the most iconic accommodations in Monteverde, located in Cerro Plano between the cloud forest and Santa Elena village. Its history dates back to 1991, when a Costa Rican family with Quaker roots transformed a cattle farm into a small hotel, reflecting the region's shift from agriculture to sustainable tourism. Over time, the property expanded into a large resort with more than 150 rooms set within protected forest land, while maintaining a strong environmental commitment. The hotel is known for its integration with the cloud forest ecosystem, offering hiking trails, canopy tours, and wildlife observation. Its architecture blends rustic and modern elements, providing panoramic views of the Gulf of Nicoya and an experience that combines nature, history, and authentic Costa Rican hospitality.
Biodiversity
The Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve hosts extraordinary biodiversity within its cloud forest ecosystem. Constant moisture and mist support abundant flora, including epiphytes such as orchids, bromeliads, and mosses, alongside trees like wild avocado. Its fauna features iconic species like the resplendent quetzal, howler monkeys, sloths, and brightly colored frogs. This ecosystem sustains complex ecological interactions, where pollinators, seed dispersers, and predators maintain natural balance, making Monteverde a vital sanctuary for biodiversity conservation.
