Beautiful walk for the whole family! - Beautiful views with some animal sightings and the excitement of crossing 6 hanging bridges. We opted to do the self-guided walk, which was a good fit for our family as our teens were not as interested in the many stops on the guided tour. Even with the self-guided walk, we learned so much and enjoyed the walk.

Amazing!! - Such a great experience! Bridges were amazing...I am afraid of heights but I loved it. The foliage is breath taking and so is the Volcano. Highly recommend the happy hour drinks after. Just a great experience!

Beautiful walk through a natural habitat - I was so impressed by the way the hanging gardens were designed. They're fully paved in a way that blends with the environment. The foliage is a wonder and can really be appreciated as you walk over the numerous hanging bridges.

Nice walk in the canopy - Walk in the canopy, on solid suspension bridges sometimes impressive. The path is easy for children, we observed different species of birds, frogs and snakes. The trees are majestic and the park well maintained.

Beautiful family walk - Booking on the Mistico Park website to take a tour of the bridges directly on the internet by taking the guide option. Indications sent by precise email. Upon arrival after parking the guide will pick you up at Welcoming. Toilet available only at Welcoming before the visit. Our guide Naza was really passionate, she aroused curiosity in my 3 children. We've seen species we wouldn't have seen without her and her wise eye. The ride passed quickly, my children did not feel the 3km route. At the end of the tour you have spots to drink coffee or snack.

Cadillac of Hanging bridges - Self guided tour was sufficient You can take a guide but I don’t think we missed much. You could do short or longer tours so you could customize your trip.

Decent - This was a tiny bit of a let-down for us, but that may be because we'd already walked through a lot of jungle by the time we got to this. The bridges were cool, but not amazing. The entry fee is a bit steep just to walk around the park, but that's Costa Rica for you. I think these would've been cooler had we actually had mist and clouds - it was a pretty clear day when we went. I guess it's worth doing if you're in La Fortuna, but just know it's not amazing.
