La Fortuna : Führung durch den Mistico Park mit Hängebrücken

Edgar was an extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide. In the 2,5 hours with him, we learned a lot about the ecosystem in tropical rain forests and saw >10 different animals. Edgar was able to capture all of those with his telescope and sent us the breathtaking photos afterwards.

Very nice nature walk, and you definitely want the tour guide so that you can see a lot of the animals. Our tour guide did a great job so we saw tiny "blue jeans frogs," sloths, spiders, humming birds, and even armadillos. A very nice way to spend part of a day!

We had such an amazing experience at Mistico Hanging Bridges, and a huge part of that was our guide, Nazareth! Our family of five joined another family and an individual for the 2.5-hour guided tour, and Nazareth was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly patient and engaging with the children, even creating a fun little game where they earned points for spotting cool things and making it across the bridges. It kept them excited, involved, and looking forward to what they would discover next! Nazareth also helped us spot multiple animals that we absolutely would have missed if we had explored on our own. She shared so many interesting facts and information about the wildlife and rainforest, and we all learned a lot along the way. It was such a fun, educational, and memorable experience for our whole family. If you’re visiting Mistico, definitely take the guided tour—it’s 100% worth it! And if you can, ask for Nazareth. She was wonderful!

This is a nature tour through a privately owned reserve. I highly recommend getting a tour guide, as you are unlikely to see very much if you don't know what to look for and how to find it. our guide, Roberto, was extremely great at locating animals and insects in the rain forest, and educating us about them. Fascinating for all, but especially those interested in the ecosystem of the area.

Indie was a fantastic guide. She took the time to pause and show us as much wildlife and vegetation as possible. She was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the experience. It rained hard the whole time. We were drenched even with top rated water proof boots and jackets. I recommend long pants that go over the top of your boots. The guide wear rubber goloshes and plastic ponchos over your rain jackets. This weather is seriously wet. Bring extra shoes for La Fortuna to alternate wet shoes, rubber goloshes would be best.

Do not miss a trip to the Mistico Hanging Bridges! It was absolutely beautiful. It was one of our favorite excursions in the Arenal Area. It took us almost 3 hours because we kept seeing so much wildlife! Tour guide: We did a group tour with a guide at Mistico, Yen. He was amazing! Yen was very easy to talk to, patient, so knowledgeable and loves what he does. His enthusiasm was contagious! We saw so much wildlife and learned a lot. There were 10 in the group and it did not feel like too much v the cost of doing a private tour.

Great guide! Weather was rainy of course. There were little kids whining on the tour and he did a great job to make the tour enjoyable anyway. Learned a lot. Would definitely recommend.

Great tour! Our guide was very informative and we didn’t let the rain get in the way of this experience!

Quintessential Costa Rica experience. Our guide, Donald, loves what he does, that is clear. It was POURING for the first 1.5 hours of the experience, we were soaked to the bone despite rain jackets and umbrellas (as they say, “don’t come to the rainforest if you don’t wanna get wet!”). But then the rain started clearing up and it’s like all the animals put on a show for us. We saw a fur-de-lance snake, a jumping viper, an eyelash viper, several species of cool frogs, capuchin monkeys, 1 howler monkey, large butterflies and more. You cannot do this experience without a guide. Highly recommend.

This was a fabulous experience!! The guide was very helpful!! We wouldn’t have seen any of the animals she found! The animals are very good at hiding!! Get the guide!!!
