OVERVIEW
Follow a winding trail through a dense rainforest and across sky-walk bridges and then plant a tree to help Costa Rica’s reforestation. A naturalist guide will lead the way through the vibrant tropical ecosystem while describing the wildlife and pointing out highlights. Among them will be three suspension bridges, the highest being about 165 feet above the forest floor. It will be a thrill to walk across and look straight down into the deep ravine below. While meandering through the forest, you might see colorful birds, monkeys in the tree canopy and butterflies flitting about the flowering vegetation. Frogs are plentiful, including the blue-jeans frog. It’s easy to identify because it’s bright red, except from the waist down—which is blue, like it’s wearing jeans. Although Costa Rica fiercely protects its nature, more trees are always welcome. You will have the chance to plant one in a nearby forest reserve.
