Curi Cancha Wildlife Refuge, Wildlife refuge in Monteverde, Costa Rica.
The reserve spans 187 acres of cloud forest terrain with varying elevations between 1,430 and 1,550 meters above sea level.
The National System of Conservation Areas established this private wildlife sanctuary in 1997, opening its doors to visitors in 2011.
Over 200 bird species inhabit the refuge, including the resplendent quetzal, making it a primary destination for nature research and observation.
The refuge maintains 6.7 kilometers of trails through primary forest, secondary growth, and open pastures, with admission fees of 20 dollars for adults.
The combination of forest edges and isolated trees in open pastures creates optimal conditions for observing diverse bird species in their natural habitat.
