Costa Rica Adventure: Hanging Bridges in Monteverde, Costa Rica

So, what are hanging bridges? They are exactly how they sound! They are suspension bridges that get you up, close and personal with the forest canopy. Nature and wildlife abound all around you seamlessly as you walk through the cloud reserve. You walk in sync with the heights of the forest gliding along the upper canopy of the forest.
