GO OUTSIDE of MONTEVERDE?
La Fortuna, Arenal is the closest popular attraction near Monteverde - HOWEVER, the 2.5 hours one way drive - THE 2.5 HOURS BUMPY ONE WAY DRIVE is not what we recommend for a day trip within a short stay in Monteverde. It is much better to plan Arenal as one of your layover spot on the way back to San Jose or onward to the Caribbean side.
