GENERAL INFORMATION
Discover the magic of the Arenal rainforest from high above the canopy on an immersive guided walk through Mistico Hanging Bridges. Nestled in a thriving ecological corridor near La Fortuna, this iconic experience immerses you directly in the heart of Costa Rica's pristine tropical rainforest.
Your journey takes you along a scenic 3.2-kilometer (2-mile) trail, carefully designed to showcase the forest from every perspective. As you wander through lush greenery, you’ll cross 16 bridges, including 6 spectacular hanging bridges suspended high in the treetops, offering sweeping panoramic views of the dense canopy, cascading waterfalls, and the majestic Arenal Volcano standing tall in the background.
Walking alongside a certified naturalist guide transforms the hike into an engaging biodiversity treasure hunt. Equipped with a high-powered professional optical telescope, your guide brings the hidden details of the jungle into sharp focus, making it effortless to observe wildlife in their natural habitat and capture crisp photos through the lens using your smartphone.
Throughout the trek, your guide will help you spot and identify incredible species that are often missed by the untrained eye. Keep your eyes peeled for two- and three-toed sloths resting in the branches, howler and white-faced monkeys moving through the trees, bright toucans, vibrant poison dart frogs, and fascinating exotic insects.
Whether you are a photography enthusiast, an avid birdwatcher, a nature lover, or traveling as a family with kids, this guided exploration offers an educational, accessible, and deeply authentic way to experience the living riches of Arenal.
