A quiet mist lifts off the rainforest as the group steps onto a series of suspended walkways above the canopy. The wood planks sway gently underfoot while the guide scans the leaves; a brown-throated sloth blinks slowly from a high branch, and a toucan flashes color against the green. Later the tour moves downriver to Llanos del Cortés, where a curtain of water drops into a shallow pool perfect for a cool swim.

This route threads together Heliconias Lodge’s hanging bridges, a private reserve walk, and the Llanos del Cortés waterfall near Tenorio Volcano — an area shaped by volcanic flows and persistent rainfall that created the uniquely mineral-rich rivers of the region. Local guides bring knowledge of both the ecology and the small rural communities around Bijagua, explaining how coffee farms and conservation efforts coexist at the park’s edge.
Expect mixed terrain: well-built suspension bridges, short forest trails with roots and mud, and a short descent to the waterfall pool. Wildlife is active year-round, but early mornings deliver the best sightings. Guides handle logistics — national park fees, bottled water, and lunch are included — so guests can focus on photography and tracking slow-moving sloths, dart frogs, and noisy howler monkeys.
For planning: wear grippy shoes, bring a lightweight rain jacket, and pack a dry bag for electronics. The private format keeps groups small and the pace adjustable, but moderate fitness helps for repeated short hikes and stair descents. Aim for a morning start to maximize clear skies and wildlife activity.
The private tour runs about 6–8 hours, typically a full-day excursion with hotel pickup and drop-off included.
Trails are short but uneven; moderate fitness is recommended. The route includes suspended bridges and a short descent to the waterfall.
Yes—there’s a safe swimming pool below the falls, but bring a towel and dry clothes; currents are generally gentle but follow your guide’s advice.
Yes. The tour is stroller-accessible in parts and infant seats are available, but a minimum of two paying adults per booking is required.
