Top La Fortuna Bird Watching

Our guides were awesome, led by Cristal (sp?). There were a couple nervous participants in our group and they set them at East through thoroughly educating us on safety, and also through humor. My daughters are 12 and 15, and they had a blast, even hanging upside down on one line and the tarzan swing. The first two lines are shorter so they prep you for the other lines, including the last one, which is really long with gorgeous river valley views. I even saw a white hawk, which apparently is rare! The fruit and water at the end was refreshing too. Prior to that we went to the Mistico Park Hanging Bridges. I was enthralled with the rainforest even though we've been in it for four days. Our guide, Manuel pointed out wildlife, and engaged my youngest with animal facts and questions. She and I like animal documentaries. We saw spider monkeys, toucans, many birds, two eyelash vipers (don't worry, they're small and don't care about you), and even a poison dart frog. (Also super small). The bridges are cool and we went down to get a good pic of the beautiful waterfall. Walking was pretty easy, but I can imagine if it were raining, the paths would be slick. We were told to bring closed toed shoes but may have been fine with athletic sandals. Try the piña colada slushy when you're done. You won't regret it. Jacamar split our large group in half so we enjoyed the smaller group with Manuel. My teenager wasn't as enthralled as we were but she hung in. She loved the Zipline though. We got views of the volcano and had a sunny day so we were really lucky. I would highly recommend this tour combo and Jacamar tours.
