Selvatura Canopy Walkways (Suspended bridges)

Selvatura Hanging Bridges:  enjoy hiking high above the ground in the tree canopy, and along beautiful trails. Great for bird watching and enjoying the beautiful cloud forests in Monteverde from an amazing vantage point.

The tour is not just bridges but a series of trails that wind between the bridges. In total, these trails cover 3 km (1.9 miles). There are eight different bridges that have lengths and heights that vary between 51m (170 ft)  to 170m long (560ft) and 12 and 60m high. Every bridge is 1.5m (5ft) wide and has a capacity for 80 people. The sides of the bridges are fenced off with the railings reaching chest height. The hanging bridges are designed for people of every age and reasonable physical condition. Guides are available at certain times for an extra price

As the bridges are suspended they do bounce a little. Overall the feeling is pretty secure due to the high railings and solid structure. Unless you have an acute fear of heights this should not be a problem. The bridges offer a nice perspective with plenty of time to look around and take photos. You can see many small trees and ferns from above and also admire birds that inhabit the upper regions of the trees. The trails are in excellent condition.

It takes about an hour and a half to walk the bridges, depending on the speed you walk or if you stop to take many photos.

Hanging Bridge Tours can be done with or without a guide.  Guided tours include a guide, entrance, and transport). Guided tours: 8.30am, 11.00am and 1.30pm (transport about 30-45 minutes before tour.

Sloth Santuary Selvatura Costa Rica

The Sloth Sanctuary was created with the cooperation of the Caribbean Sloth Sanctuary, a foundation that has worked in the rescue, conservation, and reintroduction, and has been monitoring sloths in their natural habitat for over 20 years.

The Sloth Sanctuary has been carefully designed so that sloths can travel between specially created paths and can roam freely among the trees and foliage. The sloths can be viewed from a safe distance that allows observation while preventing as much stress on the animals as possible. These beautiful mammals have been rescued from the effects of poaching, habitat destruction, orphanage, illness, and accidents among other reasons that prevent them from being reintroduced to their natural habitat.

The tour of 45 minutes includes a bilingual guide.
