Great half day tour option from La Fortuna
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.

Great experience
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.

Views, easy jungle hike, swinging bridges and lots of animal encounters
Enjoyable and fascinating hike through the rainforest and swinging bridges with many encounters with spider monkeys, sloths, vipers, unique birds, non-stinging bees and tarantulas near La Fortuna. Beautiful Arenal views and pretty waterfall. Juan Carlos is a passionate and engaging guide and transport was comfortable in small group van.

Great Day at Mistico Hanging Bridges
This was a great tour. We loved the Mistico Hanging Bridges, the wildlife, our guide Val was great!! We saw lots of frogs, snakes, birds, a waterfall.....no sloths though, which was a bummer, but it's wildlife. We were the first one's picked up, so it was a long time on the bus before getting to the bridges.
