QUICK DETAILS
Discover the Best Views in Monteverde
Selvatura is the only adventure park fully built inside the cloud forest, so you get the best views in the Monteverde area.
Located in the beautiful cloud forest near the Santa Elena Reserve, the Selvatura hanging bridges (also referred to as “Treetop Walkways Suspension Bridges” or “Canopy Walkways”) is your best bet in terms of views of the Monteverde Cloud Forest.
There are also a few benches on the well-maintained, relatively easy trail. These and other factors make this a good choice for older folks and people who might not want to walk as much.
Selvatura Hanging Bridges Might Be the Best Hike of Your Life
On the Selvatura Hanging Bridges Walk, you will hike through lush cloud forest on trails with eight bridges of different sizes and heights that offer close looks into the canopy.
This tour will not come with the adrenaline rush of a zipline, and you will probably not see much wildlife at this altitude. However, this might be the best hike of your life, giving you a unique glimpse into the canopy of cloud forests and allowing you to breathe some of the purest air on earth.
