Arenal Combo: Arenal Volcano + Hanging Bridges + La Fortuna Waterfall

The Arenal Highlights Combo is not just a tour; it is a journey through three primal forces: height, fire, and water. In a single day, the jungle lifts you, the earth reminds you of its power, and the water cleanses you from within. It is a trip to the heart of La Fortuna, but also to your own.

This carefully designed experience brings together three natural gems of Costa Rica in one itinerary: the Arenal Hanging Bridges, the Mirador El Silencio at the base of the majestic Arenal Volcano, and the stunning La Fortuna Waterfall. It is one of our top-rated combo tours, ideal for those seeking scenic beauty, deep contact with nature, and a balanced dose of adventure and contemplation.

Hanging Bridges: The experience begins with an approximately 2-mile (3.2 km) hike through the Arenal Hanging Bridges, a network of trails and 15 bridges—six of which are hanging—suspended above the tropical forest canopy. Accompanied by an expert naturalist guide, you will walk above the forest floor, surrounded by towering trees, colorful birds, playful monkeys, and countless plant species that will make you feel part of the ecosystem. This 2.5-hour hike is perfect for learning, observing, and immersing yourself in the vibrant green of the jungle.

Volcano Hike: From there, we head to the Mirador El Silencio, an accessible trail that crosses ancient lava flows and secondary forests at the foot of Arenal Volcano. During the 1.5 to 2-hour hike, you can observe traces of the volcanic past while enjoying spectacular views of the perfect volcanic cone, weather permitting. It is a place that combines the stillness of the forest with the imposing presence of dormant fire. Here, among new roots and ancient stones, each step feels more mindful.

La Fortuna Waterfall: Next comes the water. A descent of 500 steps leads you to the base of one of Central America's most beautiful waterfalls: the La Fortuna Waterfall. The 70-meter cascade is a mesmerizing sight. You can swim in its fresh waters, rest on nearby rocks, and take photos that need no filter. But beyond that, being there, surrounded by jungle and sound, is an experience that touches the essential.

Lunch: After so much wonder, we close the day with an authentic Costa Rican lunch at the Hunters & Gatherers restaurant, located within the El Salto natural park. With a serene environment surrounded by vegetation and dishes prepared with fresh ingredients, you can choose from vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or traditional options. It is a moment to share, recover energy, and let body and mind absorb all that has been lived.

This is not a tour to "see things." It is for those who want to feel. For those seeking to reconnect, not only with nature but with themselves. A day that combines the practical with the profound, the wild with the human. A day to remember who you are when you are away from noise and close to what is real.
