The Frog Pond Monteverde
Frogs and toads are undergoing massive worldwide declines. We are committed the conservation of amphibians and we dedicate part of the proceeds from each ticket purchased to research and conservation efforts. We hope to inspire other to do the same.
The Monteverde Frog Pond is run by a team of biologists, naturalists guides and conservationists, and is much more than a zoo of amphibians. It provides education and the opportunity to become acquainted with and change our attitudes about these attractive small animals.
The Monteverde Frog Pond has created a series of terrariums where the natural habitat of each species is recreated, permitting the animals to live in security and to be able to reproduce. At the same time, we can enjoy their colorful beauty.
After a guided tour of our terrariums that simulate natural habitats, feel free to wander through our exhibitions of frog species and their natural history. Enjoy our diferent paintings of natural scenery.
