Hanging Bridges-La Fortuna-Arenal, Costa Rica







Hanging Bridges is a great day trip. If you are up for some walking also, you can easily go on the public bus to Tileran, leaves at 8:30 am form main bus station in La Fortuna, cost $2. It's 14km to the sign just after going over the dam at lake Arenal. Then another 4km to the entrance, where there are good restrooms and a cafe with a view of the Volcano, of course it's usually in the clouds. The entrance fee is $24 and you can finish the walk in two hours. Very awesome high above the jungle floor on a suspension bridge. Not too many animals, depending on how much noise the groups make. When done with the walk take another walk back to the main road and catch the bus back to La Fortuna at 2:20 pm, again $2 and the same driver that dropped you off earlier. Carmen has been very helpful with directions and info. for tours and do it your self treks here at La Posada Inn. www.posadainn.com
