Review:
Rincon de la Vieja National Park is a 34,800-acre park featuring a beguiling combination of pristine tropical forests and volcanic geological marvels. The highlight and the park’s namesake is the over 6,200-foot-tall Rincon de la Vieja, a cinder cone volcano comprising nine neighboring craters that pepper the park.
This collection of volcanic peaks have the most activity in the Guanacaste Mountains, where the Von Seebach crater is still active. This is a safe haven for an array of flora and fauna, including howler monkeys, pumas, and jaguars. There are several trekking trails, cascading waterfalls, hot springs, cool streams, and swimming holes.
