Arenal Hanging Bridges

Start your day as you hike across the Arenal Hanging Bridges and see the jungle from high above the forest floor. At the hanging bridges, you will be hiking while combining the fascinating hanging bridges with ground hikes in the rainforest. A series of hanging bridges are connected at this nice park so you can walk on them and be able to observe what the real rainforest looks like from the heights... Even though you will be hanging up in the treetops you will be able to see much wildlife action and birds and learn of a different way of life from the heights. Your naturalist guide will teach you about Costa Rican culture, history, and nature while pointing out different species of plants, animals, and birds along the way. These trails bring you as close as you’d ever hope to seeing the rainforest and its inhabitants, as well as give you access to see stunning views of the rainforest and mountains.

Arenal Volcano

This is a unique opportunity where you can hike around an active volcano! Don't worry, it's not throwing lava anymore but it certainly left the lava trails where you will be walking around and be as close to this colossus and everything it represents such as the rainforest, home of animals, culture, amazing views, and fascinating history. The trails are generally flat and not very strenuous perfect for a leisurely and informative hike with one of our naturalist guides! We’ll head through the jungle, hiking through well-groomed, easy trails that skirt the base of the Arenal Volcano.

La Fortuna Waterfall

To get to the magnificent waters of the waterfall a 20-minute hike down 500 stairs will be required, don't panic! Is not as bad as it sounds... you will be with your guide overlooking the beauty of the canyon that opens in front of you and you will go slow, at your own pace, trust me, it is worth it! Once you reach the ground, take some time to feel immersed in nature and all it represents to you, is the perfect way to relax, just let go and think of anything else but the moments you are having. Jump into the water, explore, swim, and have a great time before getting back up on the same trail... but again, slowly! At the waterfall you have 2 options: 1. Do the hike as described 2. Stay up at the main facilities, there is a restaurant to have a drink, bathrooms and changing rooms, and a nice observatory so you can look down to the waterfall and wait for the group to get back up and take you to taste a fine lunch!

Lunch

After a nice hike and swim at the waterfall, The family will be waiting for you with the perfect lunch to recover the energy! They will serve a really tasteful traditional lunch, cooked with local farm and organic ingredients and giving it the loving touch for what will be the best meal you will have while in Costa Rica! Sharing some time at the family ranch and sharing lunch with them, is a good way to make new friends and learn about our culture. After a homemade cup of coffee and relaxing by the sounds of the water running from the river is time to go back to your hotel in Arenal or La Fortuna.
