Your journey begins with a convenient pickup as we set off to the Mistico Hanging Bridges. This trail offers amazing panoramic views, impressive bridges, and well-maintained jungle paths. The hike takes you through a lush forest home to an abundance of wildlife, where your well-equipped guide will help you spot and learn about the local flora and fauna.
After about 2.5 hours of jungle immersion, we get ready for the next stage of our trip. A short drive brings you to El Silencio Park, located right at the foot of the day's main attraction: the Arenal Volcano. After taking in the majestic views from a distance, we make our way through the historic lava fields. By the end of the trail, you'll be standing right at the base of this volcano.
From there, we head down to our restaurant for a delicious lunch. This is also where the Relax Termalitas Hot Springs are located. Ending our day in these naturally heated pools is the perfect way to unwind before drop off.
