Day 2:La Fortuna, Hanging Bridges, Volcano Walk, La Fortuna Waterfall

The Arenal Hanging Bridges (Mistico Park) forms a transitional vegetation strip home to highland and lowland bird species, such as bellbirds and Toucans. Walking on the hanging bridges, you will get a totally different perspective of the jungle and the diverse creatures inhabiting it, as well as stunning views of Volcano Arenal and Lake Arenal.

Start the journey with an adventure on the hanging bridges and then continue to explore the Arenal Volcano National Park along its well-designed trails and finally reach La Fortuna Waterfall, one of the largest and most breathtaking waterfalls in Arenal. At the entrance of the waterfall, you will have some time to change into your bathing suit if you want to cool off in the pool beneath it. This is sure to be a good workout as there are 500 steps to get down to the waterfall and 300 steps to get back up.
