Arenal Hanging Bridges
Located in a 250 hectares protected rain forest preserve not far from the Arenal Volcano, the Arenal Hanging Bridges offer visitors an unprecedented look at the multi-level biological diversity of a tropical rainforest.
You will experience this natural paradise as you walk along a three kilometer trail that includes 15 bridges (six of them are specially designed hanging bridges) that allow you to experience the forest from the ground (like a Jaguar) from the middle (like a Monkey) and from the treetops (like an Eagle). The Arenal Hanging Bridges range in size anywhere from 60 meters in height to 98 meters in length.
The preserve boasts a wealth of wildlife which includes over 250 species of birds, including some like the white hawk, great curassow, rufous motmot, rufous-tailed jacamar, black-throated trogon, and many others...
Many reptiles are represented such as the fer-de-lance snake, boa constrictor, basilisks Lizard, glass frog, poison dart frog and many more. Walking through the rainforest you may observe amazing mammals like howler monkeys, spider monkeys, tyras, coatimundis, three-toed sloths and the white-collared peccary.
Thousands of beautiful insects like butterflies, colorful beetles, amazing leaf-cutter ants, or the artistic web-making spiders are represented as well.
One of the Arenal Hanging Bridges major attractions is the Night Walk, where you have the chance to observe a fascinating variety of late-night critters that include olingos, kinkajous, bird-eating tarantulas and beautiful coral snakes. And don’t forget, the bridges offer some of the most spectacular views of the Arenal Volcano and incandescent lava flows!
