Tape Destinations
Journey to Costa Rica in the Monteverde region straddling the Continental Divide to walk along the surreal Central American Cloud Forests. Local organic Costa Rican coffee is as good as it gets to fuel an early morning exploration. You may even see jaguars and ocelots along the path.

ABOUT
When trade winds flow from the northeast across the warm Caribbean Sea they drive moist air into the Cordillera Tilarán. The slope of the mountains pushes the air upwards allowing it to expand and cool. Since cool air holds less moisture the excess humidity forms tiny droplets, mist and clouds. When tiny droplets are deposited on surfaces before they collect together and fall as rain it’s called horizontal precipitation and in cloud forests it can be the main source of moisture.
