Mistico Hanging Bridges (Private Tour) – From La Fortuna

Mistico Hanging Bridges Private Guided Tour

This is a private tour of Mistico Hanging Bridges with only your family/group.

Hanging bridges are a unique way to experience the rainforest canopy. The bridges at Mistico Hanging Bridges near La Fortuna/Arenal are some of the best in Costa Rica.

This guided tour will take you on a 2 mile (3.2 km) concrete path with 16 hanging bridges. It’s fairly easy, more of a walk than a hike, but is a nice trek through the jungle. The bridges are very safe/sturdy and not very shaky.

Along the way, a knowledgeable naturalist guide will point out birds and animals that you might not spot on your own. Animals that may be seen include coatis (racoon-like animals), howler monkeys, white faced capuchin monkeys, peccaries (wild-boar-type animals), lots of birds, snakes, and armadillos.

The guides we use for this tour are from a small, local company in La Fortuna. We have done many tours with them ourselves and their guides are excellent and very knowledgeable.
