Monteverde's real attraction is the reserve and its cloud forest. I had booked to do that the next day, so in the spare afternoon I had I decided to go to the Butterfly Garden. I didn't regret it. I was invited to join a guided tour, and the tours sounded very good, but I really just wanted to potter around on my own with my camera. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the vicinity. The people who run it are lovely and it all has a pleasant homely atmosphere, not the atmosphere of a clinical scientific establishment.

The set up of the garden is that it has three "greenhouses" with butterflies of varying regions. In between it is just the general undergrowth, and on tree I came across this beauty - a Blue-crowned Motmot.
And outside as I was wandering back - another good view of a White-faced Capuchin Monkey with a baby
Before dinner I found a vantage point to take some landscape shots in the low light.
