This is a look out platform in Monteverde to the right of "Hotel Las Orquideas". The next few pictures really give you an idea of the view we got from that platform.

look at that mist! is that a lookout platform?

that's exactly what it is, a lookout platform. This was built right next to a hotel called "Las Orquídeas", where we stayed in Monteverde. The pictures before and after this one are looking out from that platform. We were so high up, but we didn't have to climb up there, it was level with the roads we had taken into Monteverde.

if you look down to the right, you can see how high up/how far away we are from the opposite side and bottom. I was scared to go on the platform with all of them on there.

why? did the platform have a weight limit? or are you afraid of heights?

I wasn't sure if the platform had a weight limit, therefore, I was scared of heights.

did you get any closer to the edge at later on? i mean, you went all that way, might as well see all you can see. its sad if you didnt. next time ask someone to hold your hand.

I said before that the the surrounding pics (before and after this one) all have pictures taken from that platform. So...yeah, I went out there, just not when there were 4 people on there. Look for notes and descriptions on those other ones.
