Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, Waterfall & Hot Springs Experience

Tour Description

This full-day experience combines hiking, nature, and relaxation in one of Guanacaste’s most iconic destinations.

Start with a guided hike through Las Pailas Sector, where you’ll explore an active volcanic landscape featuring fumaroles, bubbling mud pots, and steaming vents. The trail winds through a tropical dry forest, a unique ecosystem characterized by seasonal vegetation, towering trees, and abundant wildlife such as howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, iguanas, and colorful birds.

After the hike, visit Oropéndola Waterfall, a stunning canyon waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation, where you can swim in its refreshing turquoise waters and enjoy the natural scenery.

Enjoy a traditional Costa Rican lunch at Hacienda Guachipelín, including appetizer, main course, dessert, juice, coffee, and water, offering authentic local flavors in a beautiful ranch setting.

End your day at Río Negro Hot Springs, where you can relax in natural thermal pools fed by crystal-clear river water that is heated underground by the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano. Here, you will also enjoy a rejuvenating volcanic mud treatment made from mineral-rich clay formed by volcanic ash and geothermal processes, known for its skin-nourishing properties and therapeutic benefits.
