Today we woke up in Santa Elena and decided to go on a hike/climb up a mountain (Cerro Amigos) from which we could get an amazing view. The trail was very steep and it was difficult to go uphill with the heat but it was definitely worth it. Most touristic activities in Santa Elena and Monteverde cost money but this was the only thing that was for free. That shows how the community is taking advantage of the natural environment (the mountains, the cloud forest, etc) in order to attract tourism that contributes to their economic development. Monteverde uses the cloud forest and the adventure activities (zip lining, hiking, etc) as a way to market the community to tourists.
