- Hanging bridges (puentes colgantes) — A string of suspension bridges threads through the canopy so you can walk eye-level with the treetops. It’s the best way to feel the scale of the forest and spot birds from a different angle. (Personal favorite — slow down on the longest bridge at sunrise.)
- Canopy zip-line circuit — Short bursts of adrenaline that also double as spectacular aerial views of the valley and forest. It’s a quick, fun way to cover a lot of habitat and get photos you can’t get from the trails.
- Scenic miradores / viewpoints — Several lookouts give wide panoramas over nearby valleys and the surrounding highlands. Perfect for sunset or to orient yourself before a hike — pack a light jacket, it can be breezy up there.

- Forest hiking trails — A network of well-marked trails that wind through mixed forest, crossing ridges and shaded gullies. Trails range from short strolls to longer walks where you’ll notice different plant layers and good canopy cover.
- Birding and wildlife watching — The park’s layered forest attracts hummingbirds, tanagers, toucans and a host of smaller species; you’ll also see frogs, lizards and the occasional small mammal. Early morning is prime time and a guide will boost your odds.
- Streams and small waterfalls — Several trails drop down to cool, shaded streams and seasonal cascades — nice spots to rest and lower your core temp on a hot day. Water flow varies with the season, but the mossy banks are always pretty.
- Visitor/interpretive area and local guides — The park’s information point and on-site guides add context you won’t get from signs alone: local ecology, conservation efforts, and the safest routes. Hiring a guide is worth it if you want targeted wildlife spotting or a bit of local history.
