    Incredible tour

    We took advantage of the morning before doing the night one to take a wildlife tour where we saw a great variety of animals including the sloth, thanks to the guide we saw it and he shared the photos with me at the end

    Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir su experiencia! Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron el tour de vida silvestre antes de la caminata nocturna y que pudieron observar una gran variedad de animales, ¡incluyendo el perezoso! Fue un placer acompañarlos y compartir las fotografías al final para que pudieran llevarse un bonito recuerdo de la experiencia. Esperamos que hayan disfrutado ambas actividades y que regresen pronto a Bijagua. ¡Pura vida!

    **An excellent experience in Bijagua and Río Celeste**

    Excellent experience in the Bijagua area. The sloth tour and the hanging bridges were one of the activities we enjoyed the most during our trip. We were able to learn a lot about the fauna and nature of the area, in addition to enjoying the forest and the beautiful landscapes. The guide was very kind, attentive, and knew quite a bit about the animals and plants we encountered. Everything was very well organized and it was a very nice and peaceful experience. We definitely recommend doing this tour if you visit Bijagua and Río Celeste.

    Response from the operator: contesta a esto Excelente experiencia en la zona de Bijagua. El tour de perezosos y los puentes colgantes fue una de las actividades que más disfrutamos durante nuestro viaje. Pudimos conocer mucho sobre la fauna y la naturaleza de la zona, además de disfrutar del bosque y de los hermosos paisajes. El guía fue muy amable, atento y conocía bastante sobre los animales y plantas que encontramos. Todo estuvo muy bien organizado y fue una experiencia muy bonita y tranquila. Definitivamente recomendamos hacer este tour si visitan Bijagua y Río Celeste.

    Sloths, Toucan and Hanging Bridges

    We enjoyed a private tour (6adults) with Justin and Milton from Pure Jungle. Justin met us at our meeting spot and quickly led us to our first stop to view sloths and other wildlife. Justin and Milton quickly spotted a sloth just outside the parking lot. We were able to view up close with their scopes and get close up pics. They were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I don't think we would of seen much without their expertise. The hanging Bridges were fun and Justin pointed out a lot of insects and fauna. After Justin shared with us a great place for lunch. Having a guide like Justin made our day extra special.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure spending the day with your group and sharing the wildlife and nature of the area with you. We’re really happy you enjoyed the sloth spotting, hanging bridges, and all the small details along the way. Finding wildlife can definitely be difficult without local experience, so we’re glad we could help make the experience more enjoyable and special. Thank you again for choosing Río Celeste Wildlife Tours and for your kind words about Justin and Milton. We truly appreciate it and hope to see you again in Costa Rica!

    Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.

    How does Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua compare to similar tours in La Fortuna?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in La Fortuna, with an Outty Ranking of 56. At $115 it sits above the typical similar option ($83), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and anyone who wants flexible plans.

    Who is Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua best for?

    +

    It suits families and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 3-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $115, above the $83 typical for similar experiences in La Fortuna.

    How much does Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua cost?

    +

    Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.

    Is Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include White Water Rafting Class II and III, Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Fortuna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Sloth and Hanging Bridges Tour Bijagua?

    +

    Included: Professional Naturalist Guide; Admission fees; Snacks; and Optical Equipment (Spotting Scope & Binoculars). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
