In this new day of our road trip through the United States and Canada, after a great breakfast at the Denny's neighbor of our motel, where they gave us a 20 percent discount for staying there, we left in the opposite direction to Vancouver for visit the park Capilano Suspension Bridge.
We didn't really know what this visit was about, but it appeared on quite a few tourist websites and in hotel brochures.
Tras buy the ticket which seemed expensive to us (updated price 2022, $59), we began our visit to the park.
It is a park made up of a Great forest with various trails, all around a famous suspension bridge.
Along the walk you find numerous information panels that explain various aspects of the park, its origins, its flora, its fauna and a review of the native Indian populations of the area.
And there is no shortage of restaurants and souvenir shops.
El Capilano Suspension Bridge It was originally built in 1889, and its first construction used hemp ropes with a cedar plank deck, but in 1903 it was replaced by a wire cable bridge.
In 1935 local native Indians were invited to place their totem poles in the park.
The current bridge was completely rebuilt in 1956.
El Capilano Suspension Bridge It is 137 meters long, 70 meters high over the Capilano River and is pedestrian with wooden floors.
In 2004, the Treetops Adventure, seven walkways suspended between the spruce trees on the west side of the canyon, forming a corridor up to 30 meters above the forest floor.
Apart from the bridge itself and the Treetops Adventure, the park also features rainforest ecotourism trails, award-winning gardens, nature trails, North America's largest private collection of original totem poles, period décor and costumes, and exhibits highlighting the park's history.
Visitors can also witness a performance by local tribes, with their traditional ceremonial costumes, masks, dancing and storytelling.
