Cloud Forest Hanging Bridges Monteverde Costa Rica is famous for its hanging bridges. Uniquely nestled in the cloud forest region of Costa Rica, the hanging bridges at Selvatura are among the top hanging bridges in Monteverde. Naturally, wildlife is abundant where both the cloud forest and rainforest meet. The Selvatura hanging bridge tour will take you over 8 different cloud forest hanging bridges. You will meander around 3 kilometers of trails seeking out wildlife and taking amazing photos in the tree top walkways of th3e cloud forest. These suspension bridges are also some of the widest & strongest suspension bridges in Costa Rica. Any bridge can safely carry up to 80 people at a time! Don´t worry, we only take small groups :) Thes suspension bridges in Monteverde range from 50-170 meters long (150-510 feet), and range from 12-60 meters high (36-180 feet). This means you will have amazing views from every single one of them.

Monteverde Sloth Sanctuary Sloths are synonymous with Costa Rica. They are curious critters with very unique traits and behaviors that are fascinating to observe. At the Selvatura sloth sanctuary, you will have the opportunity to observe and learn more about these fascinating animals up close. Not too close though. The sloth sanctuary was designed to allow the sloths to roam freely and comfortably in their natural environments while allowing us to observe them from a safe and stress-free distance. The 20 sloths you will encounter at the Selvatura sloth sanctuary have been rescued for various reasons such as the effects of poaching, destruction of their habitats, , illness, and accidents among other reasons. Unfortunately, that has prevented them from being reintroduced to their natural habitat. The main goal of the sanctuary now is to educate people on how to safely coexist in the wild. Don't forget your cameras, their slow movements make for perfect wildlife photos!

Hummingbird Garden The Selvatura hummingbird garden is home to over 14 different species of hummingbirds native to the Costa Rica cloud forest. Hummingbirds are attracted to flowers, so of course the hummingbird garden is full of them. Surrounded by hummingbirds and flowers, the gardens are like something out of a fairy tale. You can try to capture the magic with your camera, but the hummingbirds are a bit faster than the sloths.
