Why choose this tour ?
Come join us for a guided hike in the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Park! When you arrive at our adventure center, we'll take you on a 25-minute drive to the edge of the park. Once there, your guide will introduce you to this incredible natural area, which was designated a World Natural Heritage site by UNESCO in 2005. The park is home to one of the most active volcanoes in Costa Rica! During the hike, we'll follow an accessible trail through the forest and discover various natural attractions, including giant strangler ficus trees, a seasonal waterfall, the "little volcano," smoking fumaroles, and the famous boiling mud pots, also known as "Las Pailas." Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife such as armadillos, collared peccaries, black iguanas, boa constrictor snakes, white-nosed coatis, howler monkeys, white-faced capuchins, spider monkeys, toucans, and tapirs. The trail is 2.5 miles (3.5 km) long and will take approximately 2.5 hours.
