Its cloud forests, well-maintained trails, and abundant wildlife make it a mandatory destination for nature lovers.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A story of conservation and natural restoration<\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The history of Curi-Cancha began in 1970, when the Lowther family purchased the property that had belonged to Hubert and Mildred Mendenhall. The name \u201cCuri-Cancha\u201d comes from Inca culture and means \u201cEnclosure of Gold,\u201d a name that reflects the natural wealth found in this place.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At that time, the property consisted of approximately 50% pastureland and 50% virgin tropical forest. Over the next 45 years, the Lowther family decided to stop clearing and logging the land. Thanks to this commitment to conservation, much of the pastureland regenerated naturally, returning to forest.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1997, the commitment to environmental protection was strengthened when, thanks to the efforts of Julia Lowther, the property was officially designated a Wildlife Refuge under the protection of the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE). Subsequently, in 2011, the Curi-Cancha Reserve opened its doors to tourism in the form it is known today.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A mosaic of unique ecosystems<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reserve is part of the Arenal-Tempisque Conservation Area and protects 83 hectares (205 acres) of diverse ecosystems. Its territory consists of 50% primary forest, 45% secondary forest, and 5% grassland.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elevation ranges from 1,450 to 1,615 meters above sea level, creating ideal conditions for various types of forest. Approximately 40% consists of low montane rainforest, while the remaining 60% is made up of premontane rainforest.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To explore these environments, visitors can enjoy seven kilometers of nature trails that wind through spectacular cloud forest landscapes, offering unique opportunities to observe flora and fauna.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" data-id=\"25353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-Cancha-day-hike-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-Cancha-day-hike-2.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-Cancha-day-hike-2-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-Cancha-day-hike-2-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-Cancha-day-hike-2-334x222.webp 334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" data-id=\"25352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-Cancha-day-hike-3-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-Cancha-day-hike-3-1.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-Cancha-day-hike-3-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-Cancha-day-hike-3-1-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-Cancha-day-hike-3-1-334x222.webp 334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" data-id=\"25351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-cancha-day-hike.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-cancha-day-hike.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-cancha-day-hike-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-cancha-day-hike-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Curi-cancha-day-hike-334x222.webp 334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Birdwatching<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curi-Cancha is internationally recognized as one of the best places for <a href=\"https:\/\/reservacuricancha.com\/img\/cms\/bird-check-list-curicancha.pdf\">birdwatching <\/a>in Monteverde.
