What to expect
We invite you to visit this natural heritage of humanity and be part of the future history of this place called Earth, During the hiking to Rincon de la Vieja Volcano we will observe fumaroles, mud volcanoes, boiling water springs, wildlife, moist forest, volcanic reservoirs at the base of the Rincón de La Vieja volcano.
We will go to Las Pailas trail is a 3 km (2 miles) loop that passes through thick rainforest and some open fields. The first part of the trail is also very scenic, the trail leads to one of the most impressive features of the park: steam vents, also called fumaroles. These basically look like big holes in the ground that constantly billow steam, while making strange gurgling sounds and giving off a stinky sulfur smell.

The ideal private tour! Started off with our hotel pickup, right on time and in a comfortable transport van with AC. Samuel was our driver, he was incredibly careful in driving and also very friendly (even gave us tips of where to get the best prices on souvenirs!). Marvin was our tour guide, he introduced himself as our “best friend for the day”! Very conversational and friendly throughout the trip, and highly knowledgeable about all the nature & wildlife. Knew right off hand the names of the species of all the animals we saw, as well as the plant life and the history around all the areas we visited. He speaks great English, we traded teaching each other new conversational phrases throughout the day. The trip location was great - got to see rainforest, dry forest, volcanic mud pits, geysers, and got to swim at the Oropendola waterfall! Hike was moderately easy, Marvin definitely kept at our pace - oh, and he was incredibly thoughtful with the Covid protocols! Had mask on, sanitizer ready, and gave us space if we had to take a breather during the hike. Lunch was great, solid restaurant with good preparation of the Costa Rican typical lunch. Stopped by a coffee and souvenir shop on the way back to the hotel (wasn’t originally on the itinerary, so it was very cool they did that). All in all, great experience and would highly recommend Green Life Tours! Pura vida!Carlos was super guide on our trip to Rincon de la Vieja. He took the time to impart his knowledge of the local plants and animals, all with a big smile and a fun sense of humor. The casado lunch was delicious as well. I'd do it again in a heatbeat.
