Santa Elena is the nearest town to the stunning Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve and the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve in northwestern Costa Rica. The town center is tiny, but big enough to have a general store, a health clinic, a police station, restaurants and several lodging options.
