The Experience

Led by Rainforest Explorers’ certified naturalist guides, this 2-mile (3.2 km) loop trail becomes an interactive classroom. Our experts don't just lead the way; they unlock the secrets of the forest. Using professional spotting scopes, they will help you spot camouflaged wildlife that the untrained eye would miss—from howler monkeys swinging through the canopy to the vibrant blue morpho butterfly.

The trail features a stunning system of 16 bridges—including 6 spectacular suspension bridges—that allow you to walk comfortably amidst the treetops. It is a harmonious blend of ground-level trails and aerial walkways, providing the best opportunities to observe the complex ecosystem of the pre-montane rainforest.

Perfect Combo

layers Maximize Your Time

The Hanging Bridges tour is designed to be flexible. Let Rainforest Explorers handle the logistics. We can transition you smoothly from the high canopy of the bridges to the calm waters of the Peñas Blancas River for a Safari Float, all in one unforgettable day.
