3 HoursTour Overview
A three hour walk on a private reserve with a privileged location adjacent to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. In 1970 the Lowther family purchased the property of Hubert and Mildred Mendenhall and named it Curi-Cancha, the name derived from “Golden Enclosure” in Inca. At that time the property was approximately 1/2 pasture and 1/2 virgin rain forest. In the ensuing 45 years the Lowthers cleared no areas and allowed the majority of the pastured areas to re-grow into forest. In 1997, through the efforts of Julia Lowther, the property was legally designated a Refugio de Vida Silvestre under MINAE and in 2011 Curi-Cancha Reserve opened to tourists in its current form.
