Costa Rica currently makes up 5% of the biodiversity of the world, and that allows visitors to have a rich observation of species in its forest reserves. Interesting facts such as the population of butterflies find that more than 2,000 species of butterflies are diurnal and 4,500 nocturnal, more than twice! Something similar happens with the activity of some amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and some species of exotic flowers that only bloom at night.
The Mistico Hanging Bridges tour is an eco-tourism attraction within a 618-acre reserve of primary forest and allows the visitors the opportunity to discover the behavior of the forest in the dark of the night.
Located at only 25 minutes from most of the hotels in Arenal, this is a perfect place to discover the wonderful secrets of the forest; the density of its biodiversity makes this wildlife sanctuary a special place to admire the species among the vibrant primary rainforest canopy on trails and hanging bridges varying in length and height.
