The experience
The trail is comfortable and easy going, and you walk through the Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park with primary jungle all around you. The path moves you between different heights, so the forest is seen from more than one level. The bridges are the heart of it, six suspension and ten rigid ones, and from the park the famous Arenal Volcano comes into view.
Your naturalist guide walks with you and explains how the rainforest ecosystem works as you go. Keep your eyes open for monkeys and for many kinds of birds, each living in its own natural habitat, plus the mammals, spiders, snakes and insects that share the forest. The views over the rainforest are beautiful, and the whole walk is an easy way to spend time close to nature.
Bring your own reusable water bottle, since sustainable tourism is part of how this tour is run.
