The Bridge is inside Butterfly World. A park entrance fee is required to get to the bridge.
This bridge only spans a small fish filled pond.
The on site signage says:
"This Bridge is a replica of one spanning the Toachi river, near the Tinalandia lodge in Western Equador. Since 1986, Butterfly world founder, Ron Boender, has been traveling to this site to study rain forest butterflys. The Tinalandia Bridge is his effort to bring a bit of the adventure he experiences there, to Butterfly world.
