The town
of Monteverde, located at the south end of the cloud forest,
had its beginnings in the early 1950s with the impetus of
a group of Quakers from the United States, a group that came
to Costa Rica attracted by its pacific inclinations and disarmament.
They established themselves in the region and devoted themselves
to produce milk and quality cheeses.
The "Bosque
Nuboso" (Cloud Forest) Biological Reserve is recognized
throughout the world for the golden toad, a species in danger
of extinction. This wildlife area has been created to protect
the flora and fauna, as well as to carry out scientific studies
and educational environmental programs.
