A misty canopy adventure unveils the wonders of the rainforest from above. Walk among the treetops on elevated hanging bridges, immersing yourself in the lush rainforest canopy. Stroll along 3 kilometers of jungle trails, pausing to spot howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, and other hidden wildlife in their natural environment. Look out across the treetops for glimpses of Arenal Volcano when clouds part, and enjoy a quiet waterfall viewpoint along the loop trail. The combination of swaying bridges, dense foliage, and forest sounds creates a sense of wonder and discovery.
