A suspended bridge 90 m (300ft) long and 22 m (66ft) high, gives you the best view of the inner forest. An observation platform above the canopy offers visitors a panoramic view (360 grades) of the Guanacaste, San Carlos and Puntarenas lowlands. There are four cables, two of them 190 meters (633ft) run through the inner canopy and the other two 214 (713ft) are outside.
