Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

For our final day in La Fortuna we booked ourselves into Mistico Hanging Bridges – 22 different bridges through the rainforest, 6 are hanging bridges in the treetops.

We set out at about 10am for the 2 mile round trip walk. Thankfully this was also mostly stroller friendly so we managed to complete it in around 3 hours. The kids did fairly well all things considered. It was pretty steep in places and not surprisingly it was hot. We didn’t see a whole lot of wildlife – butterflies, lizards a badger and a snake but the trees themselves were pretty impressive.

The suspension bridges were incredible. They were up to 150ft high and 300ft long. It was seriously impressive to be up that high with some spectacular views.

At the kids request we headed back to the hot springs for another trip down the water slides. Charlie eventually wore me down and got to try all of the slides at the park. He was one happy little boy. We set out for the Caribbean coast in the morning for the last leg of our trip.
