Descripción

Rincón de la Vieja National Park centers around the massive 1916 meter high Rincón de la Vieja volcano, the largest and most active volcano in the Guanacaste region. While still considered active, it’s safe for visitors. In the whole park you can clearly see the volcanic activity in the form of mudpots and fumaroles. You can also see amazing waterfalls and lush vegetation.

The park has over 300 species of birds. The dry forest of Rincón de la Vieja offers beatiful views of several birds such as Lesson's Motmot, Common Pauraque, Elegant Trogon, Keel-billed Toucan, Yellow-eared Toucanet, Collared Aracari, White-throated Magpie-Jay and Long-tailed Manakin.
