Costa Elena Day Trip: Waterfall & Hanging Bridges

 

Would you like to visit a waterfall and walk hanging bridges on the same day away from Costa Elena? At Buena Vista del Rincón, Salitral Waterfall and Los Higuerones Hanging Bridges can be part of one visit. Choosing the right outing starts with understanding both experiences and what the combination involves for your group.

 

What does combining a waterfall and hanging bridges add?


It brings together two different ways to enjoy the landscape: viewing Salitral's cascade and walking elevated sections through the vegetation at Los Higuerones.

Salitral is a 60-meter waterfall surrounded by forest and volcanic rock. The bridges offer a higher viewpoint across the forest. The contrast is the reason to combine them, without having to make each one a separate outing.

Our Salitral Waterfall guide explains the waterfall setting and preparation in more detail.

 

Which Day Pass includes both experiences?


The Exclusive Eco Adventure 12-in-1 Day Pass includes Salitral Waterfall and Los Higuerones Hanging Bridges. You can find it among the options on our Day Pass page.

Review the full package before booking. The waterfall and bridges are part of a broader day that also includes adventure, culture, gastronomy and wellness experiences. Consider the complete visit rather than only two activities on its inclusion list.

 

What should your group consider before choosing the combination?


Consider the walking approach to Salitral and each person's comfort with elevated spaces at Los Higuerones. Inclusion in the same package does not mean both activities have identical participation requirements.

Tell our team about mobility needs, children's ages and any concerns about heights. Reviewing the relevant activity rules helps everyone make an informed choice rather than assuming one experience will suit the whole group.

The Los Higuerones description in our Experiences section gives you more detail about the route before you choose it.

 

How is the visit to both places organized?


The sequence is coordinated around the day's operation and the itinerary of your booked experience. The order of an inclusion list is not a fixed visiting schedule.

When booking, explain that both Salitral and Los Higuerones are priorities and ask how they fit into your visit. Combining them does not mean the entire journey between the two is one continuous walk; follow our team's directions for each part of the outing.
