The local gelato place in Monteverde is called El Camino Gelato. They make delicious gelato in all kinds of flavors including: birthday cake, banana chocolate, orange chocolate, mango and passionfruit, and more!
Gelato is kind of like ice cream except:
- Gelato is made with more milk and less cream.
- Gelato has no eggs while ice cream has egg yolks.
- Gelato is served at −10°C (14°F) and while ice cream is served colder, at −12°C (10°F)

El Camino Gelato has two stores: one in Santa Elena (which is new) and one in Monteverde. The one in Monteverde is changing location to move into a storefront at CASEM.
Here are some sneak peek pictures from the inside of the new location. Thanks for giving us a preview, Ran! As you can see, they aren’t fully finished setting up yet, so for now at least, the only place to buy gelato from them is their Santa Elena location.
I’m looking forward to the new location being open because it is closer to my house and school! They also have cool swinging chairs and comfy-looking sofas that will be fun to try out.
If you’re ever visiting Monteverde, be sure to stop by El Camino Gelato. Maybe I’ll be there!
