This unique hike takes you through the Volcan Arenal National Park to see the area from both above and below. From curated gardens to raw rainforest beauty, there’s something new to discover every step of the way. Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park houses the coming together of several different ecosystems that create a transition vegetation strip with high biodiversity. It is located between the edges of two types of forest, highland and lowland, and integrates both of them. Throughout years of evolution, the rainforest lowland flora, representative of Sarapiquí y Tortuguero, migrated upwards and reached a height of 500-600 m, where it encountered and interacted with highland flora. Therefore, Mistico Park treetops provide the perfect environment for a high diversity of epiphytes, birds, mammals, butterflies, and more. Watch all of them closely from the hanging bridges. We will then have lunch locally (included) After lunch we head for our Sloth Tour. The sloth watching trail is in about a 30 acres area and has a trail of approximately 2 km long.
