Arenal - Hanging Bridges - Geoffroy's spider monkey (Costa Rica)

The Arenal Hanging Bridges are a series of suspension bridges in the Volcan Arenal National Park offering views of Lake Arenal and Volcan Arenal. The bridges form part of a 3 kilometer trail through the wonderful rainforest. We started our tour early in the morning together with a experienced guide to spot some colorful birds and forest animals.

Geoffroy's spider monkey (ateles geoffroyi), also known as black-handed spider monkey. It is one of four species of monkeys that can be found in Costa Rica. Its arms are significantly longer than its legs, and its prehensile tail can support the entire weight of the monkey and is used as an extra limb.
