Good to Know
Footwear and Gear for Hiking
For hanging bridges and waterfall hikes in Costa Rica, bring closed-toe hiking shoes or boots with good grip, plus a lightweight rain jacket and a small daypack; even moderate trails can be slippery and you may encounter mud, roots, or insects.
Booking Tours and Transport Smoothly
In areas like La Fortuna, many operators offer hotel pickup for activities such as hanging bridges, waterfall visits, and hot springs; booking through your hotel or a reputable agency a day in advance simplifies logistics and often includes transportation.
