The TrainTrainforest’s two original reproduction trains were hand-crafted by British company, Severn Lamb, which has been making railway transport systems since 1947. Brought to Monteverde in 2009, the trains are made of steel and aluminum and feature real copper and brass bells, details and trim. The engines are diesel-hydraulic and each pulls 3 comfortable carriages for 50 passengers with facing wooden benches. You’ll have clear views of the landscape with open sides, which can be enclosed with transparent heavy plastic curtains in case of rain.

The TourAn exciting ride through a tunnel and over rail

bridges takes you across the mountains from former cattle ranch to primary forest. After approximately 30 minutes, you’ll disembark at the Mirador look-out-point, where the closeness of the forest falls away to reveal a breathtaking panorama of towering Arenal Volcano, Lake Arenal with its dam and islands, the lush extinct volcano Cerro Chato and majestic San Gerardo Waterfall. They all seem close enough to touch being only 9 km (5.6 mi) away “as the crow flies.”
