A cloud forest is where the mountain reaches the clouds.
Once you go to these parts, you’re surrounded by clouds, so it’s very dark and wet. It’s not like a rainforest where it rains and then it gets dry. In a cloud forest, it’s constantly wet.There are cloud forests in the northern part of the country. If you keep going up the rain forest, you’ll reach the cloud forest. There’s one in the Mombacho volcano. The Mombacho volcano is as green as it gets.
