Hidden Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Catarata Escondida lives up to its name. A narrow path leads through lush rainforest, past lianas and streams. At the end, a hidden waterfall with a turquoise pool awaits – tranquil, secluded, and ideal for a refreshing break.

Rincón de la Vieja National Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Rincón de la Vieja National Park is located just a few kilometers north of the city of Liberia. The starting point for an exploration is the Las Pailas ranger station, which is reached via a mostly well-developed road and has a large car park.
The 14000 ha national park is between 600 and 1900 m altitude. In addition to over 250 bird species, there are also sloths, monkeys, skunks, squirrels and much more to discover here. Also worth a detour are the steaming and sulphur-scented fumaroles, boiling mud pools and crater lakes.
There, where the lush vegetation thins out, you always have a beautiful view of the still active volcano Rincón de la Vieja.
The park is open every day except Monday from 8am-4pm (as of March 2022) and it is not difficult to enjoy a full day here.

Giant Trees of Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja

Highlight • Forest

In the forest near the mud pots and fumaroles there are some giant trees that make you wonder how old they are. Huge plank and aerial roots create a thicket.
