Parc des ponts suspendus Mistico de La Fortuna

Poor customer service at the front desk.

Our Hanging Bridges rainforest tour in Costa Rica exceeded all of our expectations! We were pleasantly surprised by the incredible amount of wildlife we saw throughout the tour, including monkeys, owls, a colorful dart frog, a tarantula, and even a toucan. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat was an unforgettable experience. The trails were well-maintained, clearly marked, and felt very safe, making the hike enjoyable for everyone in our family. The views from the bridges were absolutely stunning, with breathtaking scenery of both the rainforest canopy and Arenal Volcano. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the rainforest. They did an excellent job spotting wildlife that we would have easily missed on our own and shared fascinating information about the plants and animals along the way. As the first excursion of our family trip to Costa Rica, this tour set the bar incredibly high and ended up being one of the highlights of our entire vacation. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

I recommend that the visit be guided, so you have more chances to see animals in the park. The guide we had was Roberto, super friendly with a lot of knowledge about vegetation and wildlife.

We had the best guide! Chino is so knowledgeable and amazing! We loved the nature reserve and saw a lot of wildlife. Our only complaint is that the group of 12 was very large. It was a challenge to even know what was being spotted and to have a turn to look through the scope. It was difficult to take pictures because others were blocking the view. It would have been a much better experience with a smaller group. Another issue is others in our group were doing a second activity. We had to wait 90 minutes to get back to our hotel because we had to take a the others to their activity first. I wish the logistics had been better for the drop off and there had been less waiting. All in all we had the best guide and had a great time.

This tour turned out to be part of a larger day tour so most people on the activity continued on to La Fortuna waterfall and Arenal Volcano. Not a big deal but we weren't expecting the group to be split. Our guide Chino was amazing and showed us a ton of wildlife including toucans, pit vipers, and various other birds and frogs. Mystico is a beautiful park and even if you don't see much wildlife the setting is fabulous.

Early morning hotel pick-up on time and very smooth. A 3 hour walk through beautiful scenery, with fascinating flora and fauna, and taking in 5 hanging bridges, which were very manageable for someone with a lifelong aversion to heights! Fabricio, our guide, was courteous, humorous, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I doubt we could have had a better guide. Standout moment was probably a haloween snake asphyxiating and swallowing a lizard. Slightly macabre but certainly memorable! Go as early in the morning as you can, the birds will probably be better and it will be less busy.

Visit to mistico park, very interesting, we had not taken a guide we saw some birds, snakes.. Superb view on the decks , very friendly walk , to do..

We really enjoyed this tour. We met the operator in downtown La Fortuna and rode in a comfy van from there. Our group was 10 so not too big for us all to see and hear. Will our guide was fun, friendly and knowledgeable, spotting several small frogs, snakes, lizards and tarantulas for us. We also saw great views of spider monkeys and howler monkeys. Sadly, no sloths on this trip. But Mistico was beautiful, offering amazing views of the canopy, valley and our best view of Arenal of the trip. Highly recommend.

We were very impressed with Mistico and how well they handled a booking error from the hotel, as they went out of their way to find a guide for us, even though they were booked out. Our guide, Edgar, was so knowledgeable and had walked the night so he could find the snakes and lizards camouflaged in the trees. He 'called' to the monkeys and we saw two juveniles playing up in the canopy, and a mother with baby.

Wilbur was our excellent tour guide for this hike through the rain forest and across hanging bridges with spectacular views! At each notably interesting moment, Wilbur told a relevant story and knowledge share that showed a comprehensive understanding of the ecosystem and geography. Highly recommend this tour with Wilbur!
