Monteverde Ecological Sanctuary is a special destination created in 1999 by Doña Mireya and her family for travelers seeking an authentic experience in the heart of the forest. With 48 hectares (118 acres) dedicated to conservation, the sanctuary offers diverse experiences that allow visitors to connect with Costa Rican nature and culture.

Through self-guided trails, traditional cooking workshops, and an authentic coffee ritual, visitors can explore the region's natural and cultural richness. The specialty coffee, sustainably grown at the sanctuary, exemplifies the commitment to permaculture and zero-waste practices, highlighting the unique flavors and aromas of this popular beverage.

By choosing Monteverde Ecological Sanctuary, visitors not only enjoy an educational and sustainable experience but also support the protection of an important biological corridor and contribute to Monteverde's circular economy.
