What people say

CeLynn Siemons
"There are 16 bridges, of which, 6 are hanging bridges up in the forest canopy. The largest bridge, Tayra Bridge, is roughly 368 feet long and 79 feet off the ground. The tallest bridge is Waterfall Bridge, which is 300 feet long and 148 feet tall. One of the bridges provides incredible views of Arenal Volcano. It is suggested you take 2.5 hours to explore with a guide, or 1.5 hours to explore on your own. If you own a pair of binoculars, absolutely bring them! If you choose a guided tour, the guides will set up a monocular and point it at the wildlife they spot for you. Wildlife you may encounter include howler monkeys swinging from the trees, hummingbirds, poison dart frogs, yellow vipers, and an array of other snakes and tropical bird species. Move slowly so you don't miss anything! There are four main trails in the park, be sure to take a stroll down all of them to experience the diverse rainforest environments. Visitors are required to wear footwear that completely covers their feet. "
"A hike through the Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park in sunny weather is a perfect way to spend several hours viewing and photographing the area’s natural beauty. Here are some things to know before you go: - Entrance fee is $28 adults, $18 teens, $23 seniors & kids are free - + $15 dollars for a guided tour  - 2.5 mile hike with 6 hanging bridges  - Views of Arenal Volcano on a clear day - Most of the trail is handicap accessible with access to 6 fixed bridges and 2 hanging bridges - Plan to spend about two hours here and reserve your time spot in advance - I recommend coming early for a higher chance of seeing wildlife and less crowds - Transportation is available to and from resorts located in La Fortuna - They offer additional excursions like horse back riding, bird watching, and guided night walks "

"For yet another breathtaking perspective of the jungle, stop by Mistico Hanging Bridges. Within the park, you’ll wind along a 2.7 km (1.7 miles) trail through the dense forest and across six hanging bridges floating amongst the treetops. You’ll get incredible views of the rainforest throughout the park- from the enormous leaves dangling right overhead on the bridge to the jungle floor up to 45 meters (or 148 feet) below! You also have a chance of seeing wildlife here, like howler monkeys, sloths, and even tarantulas- while we unfortunately saw very little critters during our visit, we could hear the beautiful sounds of wildlife all around us! Entrance fee and operating hours: Tickets into Mistico Hanging Bridges start at $26/person and the park is open every day from 6 AM to 4 PM. "

This 10 day itinerary and adventure guide to Costa Rica is the result of over 1 month spent exploring the country, dozens of hours of planning, and my in-person experience. It covers 3 regions of Costa Rica: La Fortuna, Santa Teresa, and Dominical/Uvita. These areas include a variety of waterfalls, hot springs, hikes, wildlife, beaches and much more which is why I decided to focus on these 3 specifically! The guide includes an fun features such as an interactive map, directions that connect directly to your phone’s Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to some of my favorite hidden gems & activities. It lays out instructions to help you plan your perfect trip to this area including over 35 accommodation suggestions plus where I stayed myself, 13 waterfall locations, 4 hot springs experiences, 4 hiking destinations, 7 beautiful beaches, boat tours & island day trips, direct links to every resource you could need, exclusive photos and videos from me, and so much more! It’s mobile friendly when you download the Thatch App for free so you can easily access all of the info right from your phone!

I have hand-crafted this guide specifically for adventure travelers (like me!) and feel so confident you will have an amazing trip with this guide by your side 😏 As a part of your purchase of the guide, here are a few promises I can make you: 1.

I only make guides based on areas I have not only been to but know well! I have spent over 4 weeks exploring Costa Rica in order to narrow down the destinations & experiences I share in this guide. I include both activities that I have done myself as well as those that are on my bucketlist for next time I visit! I will always call out the ones I have not done yet and provide you the exact resources you need to experience them yourself! 3. These guides are completely transparent! You can be sure that all unfiltered opinions I provide are my own 🙃 If I include any sponsored information or affiliate links, I will be sure to call these out directly. I will only include these if they benefit you (such as a discount code or coupon!) Finally, this is the first time that I am releasing one of my photo presets!!! The preset comes for free included with this guide so you can edit all of your trip photos with that Costa Rica vibe - think rich blues, deep forest greens, and just a touch of grain. These are exclusively for my travel guides as I do not nor have I ever sold them anywhere else! This guide truly is everything you need to plan your entire trip all in one place.
