Take a leisurely walk through the rainforest canopy on Arenal’s famous hanging bridges, where every step brings you closer to Costa Rica’s incredible wildlife. Monkeys swing overhead, sloths lounge in the treetops, and bright tropical frogs hide among the leaves. These gently sloping walkways offer a relaxed, family‑friendly adventure with stunning views of Arenal Volcano and the lush jungle below. It’s an easy, unforgettable way to experience the magic of the rainforest from a whole new perspective.
Experience the best of Costa Rica’s flavors on this exclusive 2‑hour coffee and chocolate adventure. Start by rolling up your sleeves for hands‑on coffee picking and processing, then indulge in the rich aromas and bold tastes of artisan chocolate. With our friendly experts leading the way, you’ll wander through every corner of our picturesque farm and discover the traditions behind two of the country’s most beloved treats. It’s a delicious, immersive experience you won’t want to miss during your visit to La Fortuna.

Wander through town and you’ll find everything from handcrafted souvenirs to unique artisan goods; many made right in the region.
