Overview

On this tour we will take a moderate hike in the Rincon de la Vieja National Park.

Tour Description

The Rincon Volcano is the closest active volcano from the beaches in Guanacaste. On this tour we will take a moderate hike in the Rincon de La Vieja National Park.  You will see a seasonal waterfall, primeval forests, countless birds and animals and lots of volcanic geothermal sites (fumaroles, bubbling mud pots, sulfur lakes, etc).

The trail is not difficult to walk but basic fitness is needed as we’ll be hiking for about 2-2.5hrs including some steeper sections.

If we are lucky we will also be able to see some of the area’s typical wildlife (monkeys, deer, birds, reptiles, etc…) but definitely it is a beautiful experience in one of Costa Rica’s most famous National Parks!

This is a tour for the whole family (regardless of age) and your guide will do the rowing and also spot the plentiful wildlife along the ride. You could expect to see lots of waterbirds, like herons, egrets, ibis, roseate spoonbills, storks, kingfishers and also raptors, flycatcher, trogons and maybe even owls, toucans and parrots.

On our way back from the volcano we will stop in Liberia for a great traditional Costa Rican lunch before returning back to the beaches.

*Optional: We can exchange the Sulphur Trail hike for a more challenging Volcano hike within the Rincon de la Vieja National Park. You will walk through primeval forests and old lava flows to one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful Waterfalls with an opportunity to swim. This would be a 4hr hike – please request a rate!

Our January 12 to the 22 stay was our second trip to Villa la Sata. We didn’t think it could get any better but this was a very special time in this extremely special place. For all our experiences here in Guanacaste this Estate cannot be matched. The village of Flamingo provides varied opportunities for dining and entertainment. Whether at Angelina’s, Coco Loco or La Forketta the food was amazing. The in home chef Jean Luc was the BEST! The beauty of the white sand beach of Flamingo is unparalleled. The staff at Villa la Sata was extremely accommodating. There was no better way to escape the cold of Montana. We will return yet again, Michael Snow

It would be tougher to spend a week in Costa Rica in a nicer home than Villa La Sata. Not only is it centrally located to the “hopping” area of the Pacific Coast side of Costa Rica, it is positioned on the property and Bay perfectly. A view of over 180 degrees of the ocean is breathtaking. The home is beautiful, updated and unquestionably a once-in-a-lifetime vacation home. This will go down as the nicest home we have ever spent time in, on vacation.

We stayed at Villa La Sata, in Costa Rica for a few days in February. It is a very special place which is beautifully appointed with detail after detail. I can’t imagine a better location in the world to soak up the sun on its terraces, perched on a cliff overlooking a mile or so of wonderful beach. We had magnificent sunsets every night that were among the best I have ever seen. My wife was in heaven as she cannot miss a sunset.

Staying at Villa La Sata was an amazing experience! The views were immaculate and the villa was very impressive… I loved waking up to the sound and site of the beach each morning. The fact that you can see the water as the front gate opens and from every room is why I would consider this the Gem of Flamingo. I’ve never experienced anything like the sunsets here as well. As a videographer and photographer it was more than just a paradise it was Heaven.
