You step off the shuttle into warm, humid air and the rainforest seems to breathe around you — leaves drip like slow metronomes, and the canopy above parts to reveal a distant cone of rock: Arenal. On this full-day private hike you move from moss-dark trails to the suspended timber of hanging bridges, where the canopy feels close enough to touch and toucans call like punctuation. The river below dares you to listen; the waterfall pulls at the view with a white, boiling presence.
