Description

We start our day by driving up the mountains near Arenal lake. At the highest point, we arrive at the MIstico hanging bridges park. Here we enjoy the wide panoramic views over the northern zone including the Volcano, the Arenal lake, and the surrounding tropical forest. Our hike takes us over 6 large bridges with some spanning up to 80 meters. These high structures get you at eye height with the abundant wildlife that can be found in the tree canopy. Your professional bilingual guide is with you to have you spot as much as possible. Equipped with a telescope he'll show you many animals and provides interesting information. Having hiked for about 2 and a half hours we leave the bridges behind us and go close to the volcano. A short drive takes us close to the enormous lava fields that were deposited during the big 1968 eruption. A trail cut through the big black rocks leads us to an impressive viewpoint. Being this close gives you a good sense of the enormity of the volcano and the violent force with which it has come to life many years ago. Having hiked and enjoyed the lava field for about 2hours we are ready for some food. Now we take you to the rainforest cafe where you can choose from a variety of tasty dishes Having been properly fed all that is left to do is relax in the hot spring pools that are close to the restaurant. With good changing facilities available you can easily get ready. You can hang out in any of the 6 pools that offer thermal water in a range of temperatures. It is a great way to end an active day and is often seen as a nice moment to share experiences with fellow travelers. Finishing here we will drop you off at your hotel or the place where you parked your car.
