Untouched nature, a paradise of thermal baths with geysers, bubbling mud pots, an active volcano and a variety of adventure – this is what you will find in the national park Rincón de la Vieja!
The translation of the name is “old lady`s nook”. The indigenous people of the Guatuso tribe named the volcano thus. They say that this story is behind the name: a father has thrown his daughter’s truelove into the mouth of the volcano. Since that time, she is living there as a recluse and old witch giving smoke signals.
So, what do you say? Do you want to go and explore the beauty of Guanacaste?
