The full-day version of the Mistico Hanging Bridges walk, naturalist guide and traditional Costa Rican lunch included.
Sixteen bridges span this stretch of primary rainforest, and six of them hang high above the canopy, with Arenal Volcano on the horizon. The trails in between are easy and well maintained.
An expert naturalist walks with you and finds what you would miss alone: sloths, monkeys, colorful birds, frogs, and a parade of tropical plants. Expect to come away knowing a good deal about the region's ecology and conservation.
The full-day format includes a traditional Costa Rican lunch made with fresh local ingredients.

Around twelve years in Costa Rican tourism. On the drive between Guanacaste and Arenal he points out how fast the landscape and climate change, and shares the history of both regions along the way. His picks: the Palo Verde boat safari and Rincón de la Vieja's Pailas trail.
Twenty years guiding Costa Rica as a general and naturalist guide, with a special passion for botany: he points out plant adaptations, ecological relationships and the quiet work that trees, flowers and lianas do in the ecosystem. His favorite day is Palo Verde, where wildlife, tropical wetlands, cultural traditions and history meet — and the birdlife is spectacular.
Twenty-two years in tourism, from restaurants to tour sales to driving and guiding. Místico is his favorite trail: rich in wildlife, easy to walk, and full of the forest's secrets. On transfers north he loves the moment the dry Pacific crosses an invisible line into rainforest green.
