This is a full day activity. We start visiting the hanging bridges from Mistico Park to explore the wonderful rain forest through the incredible bridges suspended in the canopy forest.
After around two hours walking and seeing different wildlife, we will drive to the next spot, the Arenal Volcano. Here the walk is focused in the natural history of this incredible natural beauty. We will visit the lava flows of the eruption of 1968 located in El Silencio Park where we'll receive information related to the volcano´s history and the whole activity it had during many years. Here we'll be walking around 1.5 hour.
Then, we'll visit one of the most beautiful attractions in La Fortuna, the incredible La Fortuna Waterfall. This is the biggest waterfall in the area, where the visitor has the opportunity of splash in the refreshing water of La Fortuna River (if the weather conditions are optimal). Around 500 stairs to the bottom of the river are waiting for you to live this incredible experience.

5.00We had such a wonderful day with Roy our guide. He was professional, friendly, very knowledgeable and great fun! We saw sloths in the wild and we felt the tour was great value. We would highly recommend Great Wings for your tours.
The best professional bird Guide we had in Costa Rica!

5.00Tavo (Gustavo) took us out on two unforgettable birdwatching-tours in the “La Fortuna” / Arenal-area, where we saw with him such elusive species as Bare-necked Umbrellabird, Brown-billed Scythebill, Ornate Hawk-Eagle or Black-crested Coquette, to name but a few of c. 80 species we recorded during a single day of forest birding. He identified all species spot on and and his communication in English was flawless. He was well familiar with all sites and where to locate certain bird species. What we were most impressed with, was Gustavo's outstanding skill, not only regarding sound-ID, but also mimicking a great number of bird species, successfully luring them in this way to get close views & photos in many cases. Besides all his professional skills, he was a very pleasant person, reliable, trustworthy and just great fun to be with. Gustavo was clearly the best bird Guide we had during our two weeks-stay in Costa Rica and as keen birderslooking for a professional bird guide, he was exactly what we had hoped for. Can not recommend him high enough! Georg Schreier / Birdwatching-Algarve.
