Read the forest through its plants
Cloud Forest Flora
Moisture, elevation and light shape the plant life around the retreat. Notice forest layers and seasonal changes while staying on appropriate paths and leaving every plant where it grows.

Bromeliads
Plants adapted to humid forest conditions. Look for their shapes and water-holding leaves without touching or removing them.

Clear answers for decisions before you book.
What plants can guests see near the retreat?
The landscape can include native and cultivated trees, bromeliads, flowering plants and other cloud forest vegetation. What is visible varies by route and season.
