The Arenal Hanging Bridges are located within a migration corridor followed by birds traveling between North and South America. The trails and bridges of this interesting and beautiful environmental project bring you close to the birds, the flowers and the lush vegetation of the primary rain forest.
The Hanging Bridges project consists of eight fixed bridges, ranging in length between 8 and 22 meters, and six hanging bridges, built with the latest techniques and designed with an eye for both beauty and safety. The hanging bridges are between 48 and 98 meters long. All the bridges are made of galvanized steel and high-strength aluminum. The safety mesh and the suspension cables are all galvanized steel. The entire project was designed to blend with the natural environment, leaving the forest virtually intact. The trails cover a distance of 3.1km and provide safe and easy walking.
