Cloud forests are simply rainforests located at higher altitudes. The biologically diversity found in cloud forests rival the more famous Amazon basin. Although it may not have as many large size mammals, it is an amazing region for birds, orchids, butterflies and amphibians. Although birding doesn’t seem as glamorous as monkeys, in the cloud forest, you will be amazed at the bird life here, especially the hummingbirds.
In addition, the temperature in cloud forests is more easily tolerated with temperatures - evenings may reach 55F and the day may go as high as 80F. And even better news, no mosquitoes.
