The Monteverde Conservation League was established in 1986 out of concern for the threatened forest in the Tilaran Mountains.

Since then, children and adults from over 40 countries have raised money which has enabled the league to purchase more than 22,000 hectares (over 54,000 acres) of land, the largest private reserve in Costa Rica.

It is named Bosque Eterno de los Niños (BEN) in honor of all the children who have contributed to its protection. The Monteverde Conservation League is saving an expanse of forest that enriches a community of people and preserves a uniquely diverse ecosystem of flora and fauna.

During the tour you may observe some mammals as coatis, white-faced monkeys, agoutis, and porcupines. Over 150 species of birds may be seen, such ad keel billed toucans, blue-crowned motmots, long-tailed manakins, squirrel cuckoos, and emerald toucanets.
