The Experience

Before You Go

Bring closed-toe shoes

Sturdy, closed-toe footwear protects you during horseback segments, short hikes, and when moving around wet hot-spring edges.

Hydrate early and often

Carry at least 1–2 liters of water; heat, activity and hot-spring bathing dehydrate quickly on full-day tours.

Protect skin from the sun

Sunscreen and a brimmed hat matter—sections between canopy runs expose you to strong Guanacaste sun.

Know your health limits

This combo is not recommended for guests with spinal, heart conditions, or pregnancy; check restrictions before booking.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • A quiet lookout ridge above the trails with views toward the Tempisque Basin
  • Smaller private hot-pool terraces on local properties—ask your guide about less-crowded pools

Wildlife

  • White-faced capuchin monkey
  • Keel-billed toucan

Conservation Note

Rincón de la Vieja National Park protects volcanic habitats—stay on trails, avoid bathing with soaps in natural springs, and follow guide instructions to reduce impacts.

Rincón de la Vieja’s geothermal features reflect the Cocos Plate’s subduction; Guanacaste’s cowboy (sabanero) culture also shapes the region’s ranching history.
