Hotels in Rincón de la Vieja

Rincon de la Vieja National Park is a still relatively undiscovered gem of the Costa Rican interior. Within it, is the active Volcan Rincon de la Vieja, an andesitic stratovolcano, one of 5 volcanoes in the Cordillera de Guanacaste (Guanacaste Mountain Range). The highest peak of Rincon de la Vieja stands at 1916 meters above sea level. Rincon de la Vieja is the most accessible of the volcanoes in the range, although it is still remote enough that is has remained a natural wilderness, with as yet little adverse impact from tourism. The National Park is also part of the World Heritage Site, the Guancaste Conservation Area. The name Rincon de la Vieja is translated as 'Old Woman's Nook' and refers to the legend of a young girl whose lover was thrown into the volcano by her father, after which she became a recluse with healing powers. Santa Maria Peak is the highest peak of Rincon de la Vieja at 1916 meters, however the most active area is on Von Seebach peak, which contains a crater with an acidic lake. One of the best times to visit Rincon de la Vieja is in the green season (May to November) as this is when the fumaroles and boiling mud pots are most active, on the flip side the crater is usually covered in cloud and so it is not the best time to hike to the top. If you want to do this check weather reports and head off early in the morning to have the best chance. It is possible to reach the summit of Rincon de la Vieja (best done during the dry season (Feb - April) if you want to get any views). The 8 km trail starts from the Las Pailas Ranger Station. The first 6 kms slope gently upwards, and the final 2 km ascend steeply to the crater, where you will arrive, out of breath, to view the eerie volcanic landscape.
