Hanging Bridges of Arenal is a tourist project consisting
of paths and bridges built with a view to maintaining the utmost harmony between
man-made structures and nature. It is located in the vicinity of Arenal Volcano,
which has been active since 1968. To get to this place you have to drive to
the Arenal dam and from there you have to take the road that leads near the
Arenal River.
Covering an area of approximately 250 hectares of primary forest, the property
has an impressive view of Arenal Volcano, as well as of the huge Arenal reservoir
which feeds the largest hydroelectric plant in Costa Rica

Half Day Tour
You can choose the tour with transportation from your hotel around
the Arenal Volcano area or you can drive at any time directly to the site to
take your tour. You can choose between a guided hike or to hike on your own.
The Arenal Hanging bridges are one of the most beautiful environmental projects
in Costa Rica. Located within the corridor followed by birds migrating between
North and South America, the trails and bridges of this project will bring you
as close as you could ever hope to get to the birds, the flowers and the lush
vegetation of the primary rain forest.
You will be able to walk right into the forest, thanks to
the imposing hanging bridges and the beautiful trails that are safe and easy
to walk on.
The trails, covering a distance of about
3.1 kilometers, are right inside the forest. As you walk, you be able to appreciate
the great diversity of flowers and wildlife that are typical of the rain forest.
Given the roughness of the terrain, the trails are joined by the eight fixed
bridges and six hanging bridges described above.
The trails have been laid out with a maximum grade of 7 degrees, so that anyone
can walk on them.
