Rincón de la Vieja Tours & Activities | Discover Costa Rica

Discover the wild beauty of Rincón de la Vieja, a spectacular national park in northern Costa Rica. With steaming volcanoes, vibrant rainforests, and bubbling mud pools, this is a haven for nature lovers and thrill seekers. Whether you want to hike scenic trails, soak in natural hot springs, or spot exotic wildlife, this amazing spot offers unforgettable experiences for every traveler.

A Glimpse Into the Past

Steeped in legends and history, Rincón de la Vieja gets its name from local folklore about an old woman with mystical powers who lived near the volcano. For centuries, indigenous peoples have revered the mountain, considering it both powerful and sacred.

Best Time to Visit

The dry season from December to April is ideal for exploring, providing sunny skies and easy access to the park’s trails and waterfalls. The rainy season, between May and November, offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds, although some paths may be muddy.

Is it safe to hike near the volcano?

Yes, the park is safe and well-maintained, but always stay on marked trails and follow any guidance from park staff. Weather and volcanic activity can affect certain areas, so check local recommendations before your visit.

Can you swim in the hot springs?

Some hot springs are open to the public and perfect for a relaxing soak after a hike. Always use designated areas, as geothermal activity makes some zones too hot or unsafe for bathing.
