RINCON
DE LA VIEJA NATIONAL PARK TOUR ADVENTURE (HIKING)
This National Park was created to protect the biodiversity around
Rincon de la Vieja Volcano area. It extends over 14083 hectares
of semi-deciduous forest and very moist forest and includes a barren
rocky terrain at altitudes that range from 1950 feets to 5748 feets
above the sea level on the Caribbean and Pacific sides of the Guanacaste
Volcanic Mountain Range. Fumaroles, hot mud pools and the eerie
steam holes of Las Pailas create an amazing landscape.
This is a hiking tour that takes about an hour and 45 minutes
to get to La Cangreja Waterfall which is about 195 feets high
and is located on a rocky terrain desvastated by the volcanic
eruptions.
The tour not only provides the opportunity to appreciate Rincon
de la Vieja´s geothermal wonders, it also allows a close
view of an ancient forest hundreds of years old. Huge trees protect
spider monkeys, leaf-cutter ants, toucans and all kind of great
and small creatures.
