Monteverde is a Mexican telenovela produced by Lucero Suárez for TelevisaUnivision.[1] It is based on the 2018 Chilean telenovela Isla Paraíso, created by Alejandro Cabrera.[2] The series stars África Zavala and Gabriel Soto.[3][4] It premiered on Las Estrellas on 16 June 2025.[5]
Plot
[edit]Monteverde is a quiet and quaint town, inhabited only by men, where time seems to have stopped; however, under its peaceful facade lie secrets and conflicts that, when discovered, will forever transform the lives of its inhabitants.
The story begins when Carolina Robles, a wife and mother dedicated to her family, has to flee after being incriminated by her corrupt husband, Carlos Rojas, in a fraud he committed. Not knowing where to go, she turns to her twin sister for help; Celeste, a nun devoted to her religion. Celeste is about to fulfill a mission together with Father Gabriel in Monteverde called "Operation Genesis", a project aimed at reviving the town, which explains the arrival of a bus full of women. This is how Carolina, who has adopted the identity of Celeste, arrives in Monteverde to take refuge with her son Andrés and his nanny Juanita, who has accompanied Carolina on the journey.
Carolina tries to stay hidden, but everything gets complicated when she meets Óscar León, a man marked by the abandonment of his wife Eva. Although Óscar tries to keep his distance, he ends up falling in love with Carolina. However, their relationship faces serious challenges: the secret about Carolina's true identity, the reasons why she came to Monteverde, and her decision to pass herself off as a nun. The worst of all is that her husband, Carlos, will not rest until he finds her, endangering everything she has built.
Operation Genesis opens the door to other love stories, such as that of Juan David and Angelina, Franco and Lucía, and Lucas and Rosalía.[5]
