Known as one of the most beautiful environmental projects in Costa Rica, Mistico is a combination of trails and hanging bridges situated near Arenal Volcano. This nature preserve shelters a great variety of flora and fauna including many native and migratory birds.The 3.1 km (2 mi.) circuit trail will cross 15 impressive bridges, some suspended over the forest canopy and others, which are stationary. The bridges have different lengths and altitudes and were designed to offer different perspectives from which to observe the flora and fauna, as you pass through several levels of the forest. From the bridges, you will have views of the treetops making it easier to locate animals and birds.
The topography of the terrain is relatively simple with some short slopes, suitable for all ages and ability levels. Some of the animals that we may observe in this type of forest are 3 different species of monkeys, multiple species of birds, snakes, peccaries, and frogs, among others.
At the end of the tour we will enjoy a delicious snack of tropical fruit with a view of the Arenal Volcano, before taking our transportation back to La Fortuna.
