Begin your tour at La Fortuna Waterfall. This waterfall is representative of the Arenal area and is absolutely stunning. The 195-foot waterfall creates a natural fresh-water pool, which is perfect for travelers who are up for swimming. The waterfall is surrounded by lush rainforest and is extremely scenic. The journey continues with a visit to the Arenal Hanging Bridges. The reserve has trails that run through the heart of the rainforest, as well as treetop suspension bridges. The suspension bridges extend through the forest canopy and give you the chance to see the forest from a different perspective. As you walk along the bridges, be on the lookout for birds, monkeys, and other animals. Enjoy a typical lunch served by a Costa Rican family served in a pleasant open-air area.
