Itinerary

Parque Nacional Rincon de la Vieja

Once at the park we can use the restrooms and get ready to start our hike of approximately 2 hours through Las Pailas trail, where we can see one of Costa Rica’s most active volcanoes. Steaming fumaroles, mini-geysers and bubbling volcanic mud pits.We will hike Las Pailas loop trail 2.5 miles (3.5 km) through dry tropical forest to see the best views of the volcano, incredible nature, volcanic activity and wildlife. The park is home to more than 300 bird species, and other animals like armadillos, collared peccaries, iguanas, snakes, white-nosed coatis, and white-faced, howler and spider monkeys.

2 hours
Oropendola Warterfall

When we finish our hike, get ready for a refreshing swim in the Oropendola waterfall. It is a short walk from the national park entrance on a trail with varying terrain to get down to the river bottom. The Oropendola waterfall plunges an impressive 82 feet (25 meters) to a sparkling turquoise pool in the lush canyon of the Rio Blanco (White River), creating a picturesque tropical oasis.

45 minutes
Rio Negro Hot Springs

Rich in minerals, thermal waters have rejuvenating and therapeutic properties that have been appreciated for centuries by people around the world. Beautiful and relaxing, the volcanic hot springs bubble up on the Rio Negro, naturally heated by the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano — the largest and most active volcano in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Surrounded by a dense dry tropical forest, the Rio Negro Hot Springs area is beautiful and peaceful. The crystal clear waters of the river flow near the 10 pools built on the riverbank, filled with thermal waters rich in minerals, naturally heated in the depths of the volcano. You can access the pools on both banks of the river thanks to two suspension bridges. For a rejuvenating treatment on your body, you can use the hot volcanic mud, which works just like a spa body masque. When the mud dries, you can wash it in the cold waters of the river before entering the thermal water pools again.

45 minutes
Curubande

After the hotsprings we will go to Curubande Village to have a typical Costa Rican Lunch.

All Day Hike

Published on Jun, 2024

What a hike...through both the rainforest part of this National Park as well as the Caribbean side of the park to see lots of plant and animal life, and lots of volcanic activity towards the top. This was a fun filled day with Daniel, who was our private guide and very knowledgeable of everything we saw. He got excited about seeing the different animals of the rainforest and showing us his identification guide along the way. He didn't rush us through the hike, waterfall, mud bath or hot springs. He took multiple pictures of our family and helped us remember this once in a lifetime hike. Don't miss out on this one!

Thanks Austin, your the man

This place was amazing. My family and I had a memorable and fun time. From the horseback riding to the longest slide, to zip lining and the spa, it was soo fun l. Our tour guide Austin was amazing, highly highly recommend him. He was so fun, knowledgeable and friendly.

Full Day Adventure Exceeded all our Expectations

Published on Jan, 2024

Freddy was our guide and he was excellent. We were coming from a hotel quite a distance outside of their normal range but they were very accommodating to arrange a private tour picking us up right at our hotel (adding an additional 90-mins of travel each way) for a very reasonable rate. The van was very spacious, the AC was great, and our driver handled the unpredictable traffic with ease! Freddy was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to my mom who was struggling with a week full of hiking activities with bad knees. Through the main park hike, he even took us in the opposite direction of every other tour group we saw so we were not in direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. He was quick to spot and point out any animals we saw, and help us take great pictures! The one thing I would say is that do not underestimate the number of stairs to the waterfall! Freddy encouraged my mom to stay at a rest area for that part, and I'm so glad he did. I counted the stairs going down and there are 202 stairs (not including the ladder down into the waterfall), and almost half of them were on a hanging bridge so unstable (about half as many on the way up since the trail is a loop and graded like a ramp on the way back, but all were on the hanging bridge, so more difficult than regular stairs because they are unstable). My comments on the stairs are NOT complaints -- Freddy made sure my mom wasn't in a situation she couldn't handle -- just ensuring others have an accurate picture of the difficulty level. With the exception of underestimating the stairs, every aspect of this full-day adventure exceeded our expectations. The food was at the park's restaurant and was also excellent. Because of mom's bad knees, we were on the fence whether we should do a full-day out in the park, but even Mom was SO glad we went. Because there are a couple stops, there are mini rest breaks built in and you end lounging in the hot springs! I would 100% book with them again!

Waterfall Adventure

Published on Dec, 2023

We had a change in plans because of rain and went to La Leona waterfall first, and it was amazing. Hiking, swimming, and rope climbing to the waterfall was a fun adventure, and the waterfall was gorgeous. We saw bats, a capuchin monkey, and birds on the way. The afternoon at the hot springs was relaxing, and the mud bath was fun. Highly recommend this day.

So Fun and beautiful!!!
