beschrijving

A horseback ride through the volcanic foothills of Rincón de la Vieja, where the rugged landscapes of Guanacaste reveal themselves one stride at a time. The trail winds through dry tropical forest, across shallow river crossings, and along open savannas where cattle ranches stretch toward the Pacific horizon.

Well-trained Criollo horses — descendants of the breeds brought by Spanish settlers — move confidently over the uneven terrain, guided by a local cowboy who shares stories of ranch life and the volcanic geology that shaped this region. Howler monkeys call from the treetops, parakeets flash through the canopy, and iguanas scatter along the sunlit trail.

The route passes through landscapes that shift from dense forest to open grassland, with views of the Rincón de la Vieja volcano towering above and the Pacific coastline glimmering in the distance. Steam vents and the faint scent of sulphur hint at the volcanic activity beneath the surface.

This is an authentic Guanacastecan experience — unhurried, immersed in nature, and connected to the cowboy culture that defines this corner of Costa Rica. No riding experience is necessary, and the gentle pace suits all levels of confidence.

Over de bestemming

Tucked away in the north‑west of Costa Rica, Rincón de la Vieja is a bit of a hidden gem, offering a great mix of adventure and natural beauty. The area centres on the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, which sits within a larger national park. Visitors find themselves in a landscape full of geothermal wonders, from bubbling hot springs to steaming fumaroles, all set against lush tropical forest brimming with wildlife. If you’re after a bit of adventure, Rincón de la Vieja has no shortage of things to do outdoors. Walking trails of varying difficulty bring you through different ecosystems, past tumbling waterfalls and up to spectacular viewpoints. The hike to the volcano’s summit is a tough but rewarding climb, with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. Canopy tours and zip‑lines offer a thrilling way to see the park from above, while horse‑riding and mountain biking give you a different angle on the ground. After a day out exploring, the natural hot springs are ideal for a good soak and a bit of downtime. The mineral‑rich waters are said to have therapeutic qualities, and they’re a popular spot for anyone looking to relax and recharge. Not far away, the Blue Lagoon (La Cangreja Waterfall) is another peaceful place to cool off and take in the quiet surroundings. The park’s rivers and waterfalls are not only easy on the eye, but great for a swim or a picnic as well. Rincón de la Vieja is also a hotspot for biodiversity. Birdwatchers and nature lovers will be delighted by the range of species here, from brightly coloured parrots and toucans to howler monkeys and tapirs. Guided tours are on hand for anyone keen to dig a bit deeper into the park’s ecological riches, offering insight into the unique plants and animals of the region. Whether you’re in the mood for adventure, relaxation, or simply a closer connection with nature, Rincón de la Vieja is a place that delivers memorable experiences.
