Splash down your way and enjoy a refreshing break from the tropical heat between activities.
4 – Cultural Experience
In this cultural tour, you can experience firsthand how sugar is made by using a traditional ox-powered sugar cane press yourself, just like Costa Ricans did in the past. You can also taste sugar cane, the freshly pressed juice, coffee, and typical corn-based dishes.
During a pottery demonstration, you’ll learn how handcrafted ceramics are made the traditional way in Rincon de la Vieja. Some of these unique pieces with colorful designs are also available for purchase.
5 – Horseback Ride
Explore Rincon de la Vieja on horseback and feel like a real “sabanero” (as Costa Rican cowboys are called), riding through the tropical forest.
Keep an eye out for animals along the trail, you’ll likely spot large iguanas, tropical birds, and other typical animals like coatis.
6 – Traditional Lunch
Enjoy authentic Costa Rican cuisine with a varied buffet including rice and beans, meat and fish, pasta, vegetables, salads, and dessert.
Tropical fruit drinks are served, and you can also choose coffee or tea.

8 – Waterfall Hike (Optional)
Along the way, you can choose to go on a 15-minute moderate walk through the rainforest to reach the beautiful Salitral Waterfall.
While swimming is not possible here, it’s a peaceful spot to take in the natural surroundings from a scenic viewpoint.
This hike requires a basic level of fitness and involves some larger steps, so it may not be suitable for guests with walking, knee or mobility issues.
9 – Hot Springs, Mud Bath & Sauna
End your adventurous day in natural hot springs and treat your skin with a volcanic mud bath, typical of the Rincon de la Vieja region. To get the best detoxifying and rejuvenating benefits, use the sauna first to open up your pores, then apply the mud and rinse it off once it has dried.
Afterwards, you can relax in the thermal pools of different temperatures and simply enjoy the natural surroundings.
