100% Aventura Puentes Colgantes Monteverde — Attraction in Cabeceras

It was really beautiful to be in the tree tops in some of cloud forest areas. This allowed us to see some wildlife and plants that would have otherwise been impossible to see, including agoutis running around on the forest floor chasing one another, and so many air plants up close.

We had the impression, before going on the tour, that it would feel more adventurous though, going from bridge to bridge...we thought the hanging bridges would be suspended between deeper and wider canyons, much like zip lines are. But, instead, the bridges, suspended over relatively dense and shallower canyons, allowed for a more up close experience of some of the forest canopy and a few birds. In addition, our English speaking tour felt too big, with 12 people, which surprised us, being the less busy rainy season. When i mentioned this to our guide (that the Spanish tour was a lot smaller with just two people), he gave me a snarky remark about having had the opportunity to choose that tour before we started. If i were to do it again, i might do a guided hike from one of the national or private Cloud forest reserves and do the El Tigre Waterfall adventure on our own, which would have allowed for more time to soak in the forest, and the bridges, on our own. Granted, the guide makes all the difference, so with a different guide - one with a wider knowledge of both animals and plants, and who is a bit better at finding the wildlife - it could be a drastically different experience (i think our guides' name...

We did the hanging bridges tour in the morning. Our guide Estaban was excellent. He had a lot of knowledge about the plants and animals in the forest, his English was really good and he clearly enjoys sharing all the knowledge he has. We learned so much about the cloudforest and what lives there! We were able to see a variety of wildlife despite the rain. Being in the cloudforest was an awesome experience in itself, it's really gorgeous and special. The bridges give you a new perspective and a good way to see the wildlife. However, based on pictures I would say the bridges here are somewhat lower than other places, not really in the treetops but a bit below. We also enjoyed the hummingbird garden at the end. Highly...

We had a great tour with our guide Esteban - who was knowledgeable and fun.

As mentioned in previous reviews - the suspension bridges aren’t as high as others in Monteverde, but it’s still an amazing experience to walk through the forest at that level.

The trails are easy to navigate, and manageable for those with low...
