    Hi everyone,
    Is anybody knows Selvatura park and the amazing canopy in Monteverde area ?
    Is it open at this time ?
    I’m trying to reach them by e-mail but I didn’t receive any answer. I’m looking for a job in the canopy in january-march 2007.
    I’m trying to have some informations to work and live in CR between january and march 2007.
    If somebody can help me, I’ll appreciate !
    Thank you.
    Isabelle.

    I’ve never heard of Selvatura park, but it’s been a while since I’ve been to Monteverde – one of my favorite places on earth. It must be a private enterprise.

    Santa Elena National Park is the public park, and Monteverde park is private, open to the public, started decades ago by the Quaker community which still thrives there. Now there are a lot of other private tour operations in the area as well.

    You can’t just go to Costa Rica and get a job, unless it’s something like teaching English – there’s a lot of wiggle room for foreign language teachers. For anything else, you’re a foreigner without a work permit.

    You might consider volunteering. There may be opportunities working with non-profit organizations there which might make your trip less costly, and more worthwhile.
