Great time. Not packed with other people. One on one attention

Rincón de la Vieja
Al noroeste de Liberia, el principal centro de las regiones soleadas de Costa Rica, se encuentra el área que alberga el Parque Nacional Rincón de La Vieja. Esta zona es famosa por los finqueros y la cría de ganado que sigue prosperando hasta el día de hoy y proveen un aspecto muy diferente a las vacaciones costarricenses. Hay un sin número de actividades que lo mantendrán ocupado, también hay hoteles medianos y grandes, haciendas y cabinas que, en un día despejado, pueden proveer vistas del Pacífico, Caribe y Lago de Nicaragua.

Delimitado por el flanco Pacifico de la Cordillera Volcánica de Guanacaste, Rincón de la Vieja se ha destinado a ser un Parque Nacional. Disfrutando la belleza natural a lo largo de los senderos para caminatas o cabalgatas son grandiosas formas de tener una excursión memorable.
Existen numerosas cascadas y oportunidades para nadar incluyendo la Cascada Oropéndola de 25m de altura, y la Cascada La Victoria, que alcanza una altura de 35 metros y desemboca en el río Colorado. Otras actividades son el ciclismo de montaña y relajarse en aguas termales y “piscinas de barro” encontradas a lo largo de esta activa región.
El área alrededor de Rincón de La Vieja aun se encuentra activa con la actividad geotérmica. De hecho, es el más activo en la Cordillera Volcánica de Guanacaste, lo cual produce el calor necesario para una combinación de pozas burbujeantes de barro (conocida como el “Volcancito”). Esta es una gran manera de finalizar un día de exploración y aliviar dolores corporales ya que se cree que son muy terapéuticos.
Debido a la popularidad de la ganadería en la zona, los visitantes pueden esperar observar muchos campos abiertos secos destinados a pastos y ganado de carne. En un momento dado, toda la región estaba cubierta por densos bosques, pero ahora sólo hay rastros del pasado, muchas de las cuales están protegidos en una de las zonas protegidas declaradas como El Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja. La mejor época para visitar esta área es entre noviembre y abril, cuando hay una baja cantidad de precipitaciones y una mayor oportunidad para ver la vida silvestre de la región.
La entrada a la Estación de guarda parques de Santa María esta a tan solo 25km de) Heredia. Las opciones de hospedaje en el pequeño centro del pueblo de San Jorge, el cual constituye una base muy cercana a la entrada del parque. Antes de llegar al Parque Nacional Rincón de La Vieja y San Jorge hay una variedad de hoteles y otros servicios accesibles. Por supuesto, en la ciudad de Liberia también hay servicios de alojamiento entre otros que están disponibles.

My wife and I both loved everything about this tour. The guide was interesting and knowledgable. The horses were fun. The zip lining was great. The food was fantastic. Highly recommended tour.

We drove in from La Fortuna on the eastern route and it was great until we got to the last 35 km. Then the road became very rough and difficult.

Really enjoyed our zip line tour in this area! Loved the hot springs & mud baths!

Probably the place we liked best. Again, being avid hikers we loved the unguided day hike we took at the national preserve. One of the highlights of the trip. Saw amazing animals, had lunch at a beautiful lagoon / waterfall, incredible forest plant life and wild life, plus hot spings and mud pools. Fantastic experience.

This was probably my favorite National Park that I have ever visited. We were alone quite frequently on our hikes and it definitely did not feel touristy at all. I loved the forests, the bubbling mud pots, the fumaroles and the waterfall.. You must be in good physical condition to hike here, but nothing worth seeing is easy to get to, you won't be disappointed!

Stayed in a lodge that had a lot of its own activities and a spa. Very safe. Food fine, but on the pricey side. Better to have your own car to get around the area. Loved the Rincon de la Vieja national park. Very nice manageable hike with hot springs, mud pots, etc.

Took a tour of the Blue River. Lovely! Took way too many pictures of the plant and bird life. lol.

The Hacienda Guachipelin is a gem. Their 'adventure pass' deal is the best. Great staff, lovely gardens, and convenient transport to the Park, to the hot springs, etc.
- LAURIE M, MAR 2012
we didn't expect it to be so remote - it took us 2 hours, not one like they said on their homepage to get there, but it's a beautiful place and if they could offer more tours, it would be nice. they are working on a sky trek tour, this will be great.

I would say this is more for adventure-seekers than nature-lovers, but could just be because we went at the end of the season (so less wildlife)
- JEFFREY T, APR 2011
The trail in the park is a bit extreme and certainly not recommended for senior people. Some rearrangements will have to be made to make it more user friendly.
- PIERRE G, APR 2011
Rincon Park is beautiful, easy hike with lots of interesting volcano things to see (Las Pailas trail). For the long hike: Don't be sad if you can't see the volcano crater even if the sky is blue from the bottom: it's normal !!!!!
