Experience the unparalleled beauty of the famous Monteverde Cloud Forest by train!

Replica vintage rail carriages with a shiny red and black locomotive engine chugging ahead, the sound of the engine’s whistle, and the click-clack of steel wheels on tracks take you back in time to the golden age of rail travel. Join us for one of Monteverde’s best tours and activities!

Your unique 90-minute adventure on an original model reproduction of the first steam locomotive, with three safe and comfortable passenger coaches, takes you 6 km down real railway tracks into the misty cloud forest.

Cloud forest comprises only 1% of the planet’s global woodlands, and Monteverde’s rare eco-system in Costa Rica is internationally renowned. You’ll learn about this world in the clouds from your bilingual naturalist guide as you journey comfortably and easily through the forest to an amazing Mirador (look-out point) where you’ll be treated to spectacular views of Arenal Volcano, Lake Arenal with its dam and islands, the extinct volcano Cerro Chato and the majestic San Gerardo Waterfall.

We welcome nature lovers of all ages to our Trainforest tour, and all facilities are handicapped accessible. We operate every day, all year long.

Thrill to the cloud forest in a completely new way on one of the most distinctive tours in Monteverde!
