Your naturalist guide will teach you about Costa Rican culture, history, while you experience what we like to call “nature therapy.” Immerse yourself in nature while you try to spot different species of plants, animals, and birds for approx. 2.5 hrs along the way. Appreciate the wildlife as you cross the 15 different bridges, 6 of them are the ones hanging.

These trails bring you as close as you’d ever hope to see the rainforest and its inhabitants, as well as give you access to see stunning views of the rainforest and mountains.

After your adventure on the hanging bridges, you will head to El Silencio Viewpoint. Hike through the breath-taken lava flow for 1.5 hours to 2 hours. — 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.

Once you’re done in the El Silencio Viewpoint, you’ll head to our very own Hunters & Gatherers restaurant where you will get to try delicious Costa Rican food that makes you feel good — there are plenty of vegetarian options, gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan, too, available. You’ll love this fresh, amazing meal in one of La Fortuna’s secret hangouts at El Salto waterfall park.

Then, you’ll finish the day at the stunning La Fortuna Waterfall. When you reach the entrance, you will have time to change into your bathing suit in case you want to cool off in the cool pools that flow from the waterfall. This is sure to be a good workout as there are 500 steps to get to the down to the waterfall, and 500 to get back up! When you reach the bottom, you’ll have an opportunity to take lots of pictures and swim in the cool waters of one of the largest and most breathtaking waterfalls in Arenal!
