Hotel Heliconia is a long-standing Monteverde lodge offering easy access to cloud forest reserves and highland birding. It’s a reliable, well-located base for birders and nature travelers. Cloud forests, forest edges, and transitional zones near pasture and second growth support a wide variety of highland endemics and regional specialties.
Offers Standard Rooms, Family Suites, and Mountain Suites. Many feature wood-paneled walls, vaulted ceilings, balconies or porches, private bathrooms, hot water, and ceiling fans. Some rooms are especially spacious for small groups. Meals are served in a large dining room, with special diets accommodated by request.
Native gardens and scattered forest patches attract hummingbirds, warblers, and flycatchers. No blinds or towers on-site, but guests can bird casually around the property or arrange early departures to nearby reserves.
Offers guided visits to Monteverde and Curi-Cancha Reserves, night walks, hanging bridges, and cultural tours.

Quetzals are most often seen from February to May during nesting season. The dry season (Dec–Apr) offers clearer conditions, while the green season (Aug–Nov) brings more mist, rain, and increased bird activity around fruiting trees.
December–April for drier trails and better visibility. February–May for Quetzals. Transition and green seasons offer lush conditions, fewer visitors, and active feeding.
