Later, at 2:30 pm, we will head to the Arenal Hanging Bridges, to hike a 3.1 km (1.92 miles) trail circuit high above the tree canopy, and across a circuit of 15 impressive hanging and stationary bridges trying to spot the local wildlife.
At the end of this full-day tour, we’ll drive you back to your hotel.

Join us on this 4-hour tour if you want to take advantage of a Costa Rican night and discover some of the country’s nocturnal wonders.

I loved everything about this tour! Our guide, Edmundo, was very knowledgeable and clearly loves what he does. We got to see Rio from a different perspective. If you are an art lover, this is a must. If you aren't, there is so much history in the tour that there is something for everyone.

Discover it all on this 30-day adventure with a local leader. Wind through the jungles and deserts of Peru, uncover the enigmatic cities and natural wonders of Argentina, and soak up the energy of the beaches in Rio. Spot wildlife, hit the trails and connect with the locals as you explore this special corner of the world.
