Volcano Hike, Waterfall Swim & Hot Springs Combo on Rincon de la Vieja

Hugo, our guide, was exceptional!! Truly knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure we saw the diversity in the different forests! Truly amazing experience and was my kids favorite experience. The waterfalls were amazing!!

Hot springs werereally nice after a long hike. We are in good shape and it was difficult with all the steps

Great views and experience. I wouldn’t say the hike is for every level. There were a lot of stairs! Food was great. Loved the mud and hot springs.

This experience was much more than I thought. We had an amazing time. The pickup was on time. We stop at a breakfast spot, where the food was delicious. Once reaching the park, we had a sightseeing tour guided by the best tour guide, Hugo. He was personable, and knowledgeable. He walks fast…be prepared. This hike is not for the weak. But well worth every moment. I could give it all away to you but it is just one of those things you need to see yourself to believe.

The whole trip was great from the Volcano to the waterfall to the hot springs! There is a LOT of hiking both up and downhill so just be prepared. Our guide Santos was very personable and knowledgeable about the nature in the area.

Alejandro and Mangera were awesome. They took their time and made sure we had a great time and enjoyed all the spots on our tour. Alejandro taught us a lot about the volcano and Costa Rica.

Amazing experience!!! Jumped off into a waterfall, and our tour guide was great. Lots of water and breaks provided.

We had a nice trip once we were finally to the park. Our guide knew the park well. That’s where the good stuff ends. Getting to and from is awful. They have a meeting spot, the garden, where all of the tour need to exchange passengers. We were there over an hour for “breakfast”. The real purpose is for tour companies to exchange or pick up passengers while you wait. We had some health issues come up after a strenuous hike, which I shared with our Guide. We even decline to participate in the last stop. I told him we were having health issues and needed to get to the hotel. Instead, on the way back, we stopped one more time at the tour souvenir/restaurant. I again expressed to the tour guide that we needed to get to the hotel due to health issues. Yet, we were there for almost 2 hours. We were waiting on folks to arrive from the airport. Several times, I expressed to the guy that we needed to go. However, when the new people arrived, he took both of them to their hotels first. He went down a road that should not be traveled by cars calling it a short cut but it was in the opposite direction of our hotel. He dropped off at 2 hotels and we were last. We took the medication in the room but had to cut our vacation short and go home to be seen by a physician. Unless you want to be a cow in the cattle call, book somewhere else. No recommendation. We’ve travelled for decades and this in the WORST experience.

The hot springs and waterfall pool swim were fun. I learned quite a few things about the region and the volcano and the culture and economics of Costa Rica

WE had a great time with the hike around the volcano, swam under a waterfall and finished with a hot spring. Such a wonderful experience and guide Alejandro!
