Located on the Central Valley of Costa Rica just one hour northeast from San Jose lays the picturesque city of San Ramon.  It is known as well as the “city of poets and artists” and has been the birthplace of three previous presidents in Costa Rica.

Highlights

Los Angeles Cloud Forest
Los Angeles Cloud Forest private reserve is located in the outskirts of San Ramon and protects approximately 840 hectares of primary and secondary forest.  The air currents from the northern plains join the Pacific and Atlantic to fuse over the area, creating the climatic conditions for a cloud forest which technically should not exist due to its altitude. The reserve features a comprehensive network of trails classified by length and difficulty. During a nature walk through the forest, visitors may see a great variety of epiphyte plants such as moss, orchids and bromeliads, as well as wildlife such as agoutis, pacas, raccoons, howler monkeys and tapirs among other species.  Los Angeles cloud forest is also ideal for bird watching as more than 250 different bird species have been recorded.
