Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja
Admission includedSteam rises from the earth and howler monkeys call through the canopy as you step into Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja, a landscape shaped by one of Costa Rica's most active volcanic complexes. Mud pots gurgle and sulphurous fumaroles hiss beside trails that wind through dry tropical forest and past crystalline rivers. Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja rewards those who slow down and pay attention. Scarlet macaws flash overhead, armadillos rustle through leaf litter, and hidden waterfalls spill into jade-green pools just off the main paths.
