Description
The tour will begin with the famous hanging bridges. This adventure consists of a 3 km (2 mile) circuit trail that will allow you to enjoy the flora and fauna of the rainforest. You will cross 10 fixed and 6 hanging bridges at varying heights. The trail has a maximum incline of 7%, with no stairs. It is covered in slip-resistant concrete and has safety railings, so that you can walk easily and feel safe among the heights.
Our next stop is the La Fortuna Waterfall. This will include a hike down to the base of the majestic waterfall, about a 15-minute walk. Once we reach the bottom, you can choose to take a refreshing swim or just relax and take in the natural beauty of the area. Next, we will head to “La Finquita” Restaurant for a delicious traditional Costa Rican lunch.
After lunch, you will have the opportunity for a bit of rest, before we begin our hike of the Arenal Volcano trails. We will choose between several trails that cross the rainforest jungle and the solidified lava trails from the powerful eruption of 1968. You will discover a variety of plants, fauna, and amazing rock formations. At the top of the trail, we will have an amazing view of Lake Arenal. The trail will end at an observation point, where, if the sky is clear, you will be able to see vapor gases coming from small cracks in the volcano’s peak. Our expert guides will provide interesting information about the history of the splendid volcano and its impact on the region.
