The Arenal Hanging Bridges (Parque Místico) are a series of hanging bridges in the Arenal Volcano National Park area, offering views of Lake Arenal and the Arenal Volcano. The bridges are part of a 2-mile (3-kilometer) self-guided interpretive trail through a private rainforest reserve.

It is important that when doing the self-guided tour you pay special attention to the different sectors of the forest, from the treetops, the intermediate space and the forest floor; this way you will have the opportunity to appreciate even more species.

Stop 3
Aquellos que hayan traído trajes de baño y un gran sentido de la aventura pueden nadar en el agua helada debajo de la cascada. Otros pueden disfrutar de un picnic a lo largo de la costa rocosa o de una ronda de fotografías de la naturaleza; de hecho, es difícil tomar una mala foto en un lugar tan hermoso como este. El sendero atraviesa pastizales y selva tropical, lo que ofrece oportunidades para observar tucanes, monos y otras criaturas tropicales. Se tarda unos 15 minutos en bajar las escaleras hasta la cascada
