Arenal - Clouds cover the peak |
The hanging bridges hike was across the small valley in the shadow of Arenal. Some of the hanging bridges were well over 100 feet above the forest floor. We saw some amazing plants and got to witness the three dimensional ecosystem nature of the Rain Forest.
Here are some pictures from the trip:
