Pure Nature Rincon de la Vieja Hike, Oropendola Waterfall, Lunch and Hot Springs

Pure Nature Private Tours, a local family-run company, runs this day in Rincon de la Vieja. A bilingual local guide leads the hike through the national park, past steaming fumaroles and bubbling mud pots, with monkeys, tropical birds and other wildlife along the trails. The group then visits Oropendola Waterfall for a swim when conditions allow, eats a traditional Costa Rican lunch and finishes in the Rio Negro hot springs. Transportation from selected hotels, entrance fees and lunch are arranged by the operator. Meeting points are available at Marina Flamingo, Tamarindo, Automercado Way in Coco, the Comunidad area, Guardia and a shopping stop in Liberia El Sitio, most with parking and private security. The hike is moderate, with uneven terrain and stairs, so the tour suits active travelers and nature lovers. Guiding comes with the local team throughout the day.
