Pack a sweater accessible — Monteverde sits at 1,400m and the temperature drops noticeably from the hot Liberia coast. Easy to underestimate the change.

Standard transfer is direct. Discovery upgrade ($80 extra) makes sense if you want to stop at Río Celeste waterfall (the turquoise river) en route — adds 2-3 hours but spectacular.

When you start climbing into the cloud forest, roll down the windows. The temperature drops 10°C in 20 minutes and the mist starts — it's the entrance to a completely different ecosystem.
