Crossing bridges suspended at great heights offers a unique view of the rainforest ecosystem. Observe the dense vegetation from above, discover the intricate network of branches and leaves, and admire the majesty of centuries-old trees rarely seen from the ground. It's an opportunity to experience the rainforest from a completely new angle.
The hanging bridges bring you closer to Costa Rica's rich fauna. From the heights, you will have a better chance of seeing diverse species of birds, playful monkeys, camouflaged reptiles, and fascinating insects. The height and tranquility of the environment facilitate the sighting of animals in their natural habitat, offering an exceptional observation experience.
Crossing hanging bridges suspended over the void provides an exciting sense of adventure. Although the structures are completely safe and stable, the height and the slight swaying of some bridges can generate a pleasant adrenaline rush. It is a safe and controlled way to experience the thrill of heights and add a touch of adventure to your rainforest tour.
The trails and bridges are designed to be accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. The paths are usually concrete or gravel, with gentle slopes that facilitate walking. It is an ideal activity to enjoy with family, friends, or even individually, without needing to be an experienced hiker.
The hanging bridges offer unparalleled photographic opportunities. The landscapes, lush vegetation, and the possibility of spotting wildlife create a perfect environment for capturing spectacular images. Whether you are an amateur or professional photographer, you will take home unforgettable visual memories of your rainforest adventure.

"This tour fascinates me because it showcases the rainforest from a unique perspective: the heights. The sensation of being suspended above the trees is breathtaking. From the bridges, you can observe details that are missed from the ground: the intricate network of vines, orchids high above, and the flight of birds. I invite you to experience the thrill of crossing each bridge and discover the magic of the rainforest from a different angle".
