  We had a great time exploring the park. Went on our own, without a guide, and really enjoyed it. There are shorter and longer routes to choose from and all are clearly signposted, so you will not need a map. Note that some paths can be quite steep and narrow. Unfortunately, we did not see any animals or birds, but plenty of insects; some really noisy bugs.. It was just great to enjoy a walk in the rainforest and admire magnificent views from the hanging bridges. The bridges are narrow and you have to go one after another; they can be quite shaky, especially if several people are trotting across at the same time - good fun though. Plenty of spots to stop and look and listen into the forest, appreciate the green foliage of different species of trees and plants.. watch over the canopy.. When you finished, there is a cafeteria and a gift shop. Great place to visit!

  The park has beautiful scenery and the hanging bridges give you an awesome view of Costa Rica's beautiful jungle and wildlife. Be prepared to walk up many steep hills. The walk took us 2 hrs to complete on self-guided tour. Glad we made the trip, it's an experience I'll never forget! It wont disappoint!
