Puente de la Amistad de Costa Rica-Taiwan ( "Costa Rica-Taiwan Friendship Bridge") spans the Tempisque River, in Guanacaste, northern Costa Rica.
At the upper end of the Gulf of Nicoya this bridge was completed in 2003. Prior to this, crossing the Tempisque River required a journey by ferry or long circuitous overland routes to travel from Guanacaste to the Nicoya Peninsula.
The bridge is a hybrid made up of a cable stayed span and a pillar supported bridge.
In total the bridge is 780 meters wide. On the Nicoya Peninsula side of the bridge their is a parking area and high viewing spot from which you can take photos of this spectacular bridge.
The local vendors located in the car park also supply cold drinks and fresh fruit juices.
