Bosque Nuboso El Cocora


This short trail around a nice garden is a pretty, if a little pricey, place to stretch your legs on the way to the high cloud forest or Lands in Love hotel. There's a butterfly garden, around a dozen hummingbird species, plus a fishpond and a lake on the grounds. At the entrance you'll get a birders checklist.
