Plan your visit BEFORE YOU GO
Plan your Mistico Hanging Bridges Park visit
Allow 1-2h for the curated visit, then add the approach and return.
This is a source visit allowance, not a transfer-inclusive schedule or current admission quote.
Plan the approach
Drive around Lake Arenal to reach Monteverde; a lake transfer is a separate passenger service, not a ferry for your rental car. Confirm the final lodge approach.
