Overview

This private tour from Playa Flamingo lasts between eight and ten hours. It begins with a guided hike on secondary forest trails at Rincon de la Vieja National Park, located at the base of an active volcano. The hike takes about two hours and includes views of volcanic steam vents, bubbling mud, and local wildlife, with opportunities for bird watching. There is an option for a shorter trail of about half a mile that passes four small waterfalls instead of the full hike. After the hike, the tour visits Oropendola Waterfall for about thirty minutes. Visitors can swim in the natural pool at the base of the waterfall and rest before lunch. A buffet lunch is included and served before the next stop at Rio Negro Hot Springs. At the hot springs, guests spend about one hour enjoying the volcanic mineral waters and can apply volcanic mud known for its soothing properties. As an optional final stop, the tour includes thirty minutes in Liberia at the country’s largest souvenir shop, where visitors can buy gifts and sample Costa Rican coffee and chocolate. Private transportation is provided throughout the day, along with a personal guide. All entrance fees, taxes, and lunch are included. Alcoholic drinks are not included.
