Full-Day Rincón de la Vieja Adventure: Zipline, Horses & Hot Springs
Fly over volcanic ridgelines, ride through transitional forest, and slide down a 420‑meter water chute before soaking in geothermal springs. This full‑day private tour around Rincón de la Vieja blends adrenaline with cultural experiences and practical amenities.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the tour
Carry a reusable water bottle and drink frequently—high sun and physical activity at elevation increase dehydration risk.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Trails and horseback sections are uneven and can be muddy after rain—good grip protects ankles and feet.
Bring quick-dry clothing
You’ll get wet on the water slide and may encounter showers; quick-dry layers keep you comfortable afterward.
Protect electronics and valuables
Use a waterproof pouch or leave nonessential items at the lodge; ziplines and the water slide can jostle or soak gear.
