Overview

A full day tour exploring the flora, fauna and natural wonders of Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Park. The day consists of a moderate 2-hour hike where you will see wildlife and volcanic activity. Next we will visit the Oropendola Waterfall where you can swim and play in the water. After the waterfall, it is time to eat a typical Costa Rican lunch following a trip to relax at the hot springs and enjoy a volcanic mud bath.

Itinerary

  • Parque Nacional Rincon de la Vieja

    National Park Hike With our bilingual naturalist guide, you'll walk 3.5-km (2 miles) in Las Pailas circular path through the tropical forest to enjoy the best views of the volcano, incredible nature, volcanic activity, and wildlife. The park is home to more than 300 species of birds, and many other animals, such as armadillos, bays, iguanas, coatis and white-faced monkeys, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans, turkeys, and much more. You will stop to view the volcanic activity including bubbling mud pots, fumaroles, and a mini crater. The Las Pailas sector spectacularly shows the power of the Rincon de la Vieja volcano, the most active and largest volcano in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Steam and sulfur come from natural fumaroles of the yellow and rusty soil. Witness clay pails in various shades of brown with boiling volcanic water, fine gray volcanic mud bubbles and explosions in large pails. This volcano is like no other in Costa Rica.

The best hiking and adventure ever!!!

Published on Feb, 2025

It was beautiful to have this experience, and the guy tour was so kind and patient with us, my kids had the best time ever.

Volcanic activity, waterfalls, and MUD

Published on Feb, 2025

A nice combination of activities threat will keep you busy and having fun the WHOLE time! Diego was a great tour guide who spotted wildlife and took pictures on his camera to share to the group after the tour. The waterfall swim is amazing as you swim within feet of the crashing falls. Then you finish the day covering yourself in natural mud and rinsing it off in a pristine river. You will feel nice and moisturized as the natural mud has benefits for your skin. Overall, this tour was a great and memorable experience!

Alejandro was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a great experience, and he was great. We can tell he loves his job.

Highly recommend this tour!

Published on Feb, 2025

This was a long day but it was so worth it! We had an amazing time. Our tour guide was great. We saw spider monkeys on our hike and a beautiful waterfall. The Oropendola waterfall that you get to swim in was super cool with hanging bridges and the hot spring place was very nice. The lunch was at the end so bring snacks, especially if you have kids, but it was wonderful! Highly recommend this tour!

Published on Feb, 2025

What a fun day! Very knowledgeable tour guides can tell you all about Costa Rica's history, native plants, and animals. Beautiful national park, waterfall, and relaxing hot springs, 10/10 would recommend for anyone who wants to see the beautiful rainforest of Costa Rica!
