Rincon de la Vieja Volcano Tour takes you to hike the biggest volcano in the Guanacaste mountain range. Located one hour from Playas del Coco or 90 minutes from the Tamarindo area, this experience can be shared with all the family or friends. Discover the volcanic activity, waterfalls, flora, and fauna, and relax in the hot springs.

This tour will take you to the Guanacaste mountain range, where you will enjoy beautiful landscapes and experience walking by an active volcano. The volcanic structure comprises Rincon de la Vieja National Park, formed by the Santa Maria Craters, Rincon, and the inactive crater Von Seebach. The access to the main crater is closed because of the activity and constant small eruptions and gases emanating from the crater.

Rincon de la Vieja Volcano Tour takes you on easy trails, and you will visit the boiling mud, sulfur, steam vents, fumaroles, and volcanic lagoons. Besides the volcanic activity, hiking through the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano will let you see a variety of wildlife, such as over 300 species of birds, as the Three-wattled Bell-bird and Emerald Toucan, and also various quetzals, eagles, etc. Other animals you can find in the park include cougars, tapirs, monkeys, jaguars, and others.

Also, you will visit an impressive waterfall where you can swim and relax after the hike. The access to the main crater is closed because of the activity of the gases and some minor eruptions. Later we will drive you to the natural hot springs located in mid of the forest. There you can relax for a while and take a volcanic mud bath if you want it. For the last, we will take you for a delicious typical lunch before starting your drive back.
