We stayed only 1 night in the Magic Mountain Hotel. Our next 3 nights will be at the Barcelo Playa Tambor Hotel in Guanacaste Province. This means we can comfortable stay in 1 room and not have to pack and unpack.
This morning we are visiting Mystico Park where we'll be hiking in the cloud forest and crossing 5 hanging bridges. Our group is split into different groups based on their hiking capabilities and led by local guides. Some cross only 1 or 3 or 5 bridges. It was raining the morning we were hiking so many of us have to wear ponchos or bring an umbrella. It is a very green, beautiful forest. As we hiked the guide pointed out different trees, animals or features of the forest.

We drove around Lake Arenal and through the cloud forest of Cordillera de Tilarán. There is so much greenery everywhere. For lunch we stopped at a restaurant and gift shop in Tilaran.

We were introduced to some of the indigenous pottery.
I can't resist taking pictures of some of the beautiful flowers on the property.
We finally arrived at the Barcelo Playa Tambor Hotel and were welcomed by a native dance.
It is a beautiful hotel and our rooms are spacious. There is a patio outside the room where we can hang our wet clothes.
