Cross hanging bridges with views into the treetops
Vulkan Arenal, Costa Rica
Glide across 6 hanging bridges through tropical forest and discover monkeys, sloths and Arenal volcano in the morning light.
What you can experience here
Discover the world of giant trees in the Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park at the foot of Arenal volcano. Here you immerse yourself in dense cloud forest, while the volcano watches over you and the sounds of the jungle accompany your way. The bridges give you unexpected perspectives of the tree canopies and the biodiversity of this special place.
You follow a well-developed circular trail that leads you over 6 floating hanging bridges and numerous fixed bridges. Over roughly 3 kilometres you walk through tropical transition forest, pass steep sections and reach viewing platforms with views of the volcano and Lake Arenal. Especially in the morning, when animals are particularly active, with a bit of luck you can spot Nasua, Geoffroy's spider monkeys or Three-toed sloths. Take your time for observations and enjoy every step between roots, streams and treetops.
