Descrição
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.
