Overview

This full-day bus tour in La Fortuna covers three of the area's main natural attractions. It begins with pickup from your hotel early in the morning to avoid crowds. The first stop is Arenal Volcano Park, reached after a 30-minute drive. Here, participants take a mostly flat, two-and-a-half-hour hike to the base of the volcano, including a rocky section on a dry lava field from the 1968 eruption. The guide explains the volcano's history throughout the walk. Next, the tour visits La Fortuna Waterfall, which drops about 70-75 meters. Guests descend roughly 500 steps to the waterfall base, where swimming is allowed in designated safe areas. After this, the tour continues to Mistico Hanging Bridges for a two-and-a-half-hour walk along a 3.2-kilometer rainforest trail. This path includes six hanging bridges and ten regular bridges, offering wide views of the volcano and the surrounding forest ecosystem. Because this is a tropical forest, rain is possible, and waterproof clothing is recommended. The tour operates with small groups and includes lunch. Hotel pickup and drop-off are provided, with air conditioning in the vehicle. The guide points out local wildlife such as monkeys, sloths, amphibians, reptiles, and birds during the day. Alcoholic drinks and optical equipment like binoculars or telescopes are not included but can be purchased separately.
