Enjoy an eco-luxury rainforest experience at Sensoria in the Costa Rican rainforest on Rincon de la Vieja Volcano.

The 6km trail is alive with a vibrant ecosystem and there is plenty of wildlife and plants to be seen along the way.  Feel the strength of the fresh wind channeled through the canyon at Buenos Aires Waterfall. See continuously running fresh water at Danta Pool and Waterfall, a natural magnet for wildlife which can often be seen drinking and bathing here. Walk to Aguilar Pool and Waterfall, rich in silicon which covers the river stones in a smooth white layer.

This unique tree is endemic to the Guanacaste and Tilaran mountain ranges and its fruit which looks like giant pickles is loved by tapirs and bats. Take a dip in the warm, curative volcanic waters of Pilon Thermal Pool.

This unique tree is endemic to the Guanacaste and Tilarán mountain ranges, meaning it cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Then, take a dip in warm, curative volcanic waters.

Feel the warmth of the nourishing hypothermal waters and find shelter beneath a hanging ranch or massage your body with a rainforest shower.

Guanacaste Province: Volcano Crater and Waterfalls Tour

Guanacaste Province: Volcano Crater and Waterfalls Tour

Embark on a multisensory trek through the active Miravalles Volcano on this full-day adventure in Costa Rica. This tour offers a unique opportunity to hike directly inside an active crater, passing by steaming fumaroles and bubbling mud pots. Experience the geothermal activity up close and immerse yourself in the volcano’s healing properties with a natural mud bath and hot springs soak. Your journey begins with a visit to Issys Tours Costa Rica in Sardinal, where you’ll start your interactive volcano tour suitable for all family members. After an estimated 2-hour travel time, you'll arrive at Miravalles Volcano. Here, you can observe the burners of the active crater, with volcanic mud pots reaching temperatures between 102°F and 212°F. Watch closely as fumaroles emit steam and gases, and see hot stones and crystallized sulfur. Take advantage of the outdoor "natural spa" with mud baths and three thermal pools, where you can soak in the volcanic waters. The tour also includes a visit to two waterfalls and Muco Cabro hill, accessible by a specially equipped tractor. Cross a 135-foot-long hanging bridge with magnificent views of the waterfall. Along the primary forest trails, you might spot a variety of birds and reptiles. The bubbling mud pools, with temperatures ranging from 175°F to 392°F, offer different types of clay for bathing. Choose from gray, brown, or yellow mud, each indicating different depths and sulfur content. After applying the mud, wait 15-20 minutes for it to cool and then rinse off, leaving your skin smooth and refreshed. The emerald green bubbling water pools, 6.5 feet deep and 212°F, are another highlight. The pools' temperatures remain constant unless it rains, and the water comes from the mountains, rich in iron and sulfur. Fumaroles, vents that release volcanic gases, add to the unique landscape. These gases, including hydrogen sulfide, create brightly colored rocks and intense chemical activity. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel, ensuring a full day of exploration and relaxation.

Isaac was an incredible guide and the tour was amazing and we were the only ones out there which gave it an even better experience. Know you’re signing up for a trek in the jungle so be prepared with bug spray and also for swimming so dry clothes and water shoes recommended. It says 5 hours but be prepared for longer it’s worth it, the pools and waterfalls are indescribably beautiful and the scenery will leave you speechless. Once-in-lifetime experience

So beautiful and serene! My guide Luis was very attentive and pointed out lots of wildlife and cool flora. The only downfall was the drive there - it was 3 hours from my resort (Westin Conchal Reserva)! I didn’t see that info when I signed up for the tour and I didn’t expect it to be that far since they picked me up. All in all, it was worth it, though.

Great service- driver was communicative, easy to find and on time. Lovely to chat to, provided loads of local knowledge, and was even kind enough to let me stop at a shop en route to replace some lost baggage!

The guide, Raymond and transportation, Pablo, made everything personal! They made sure we had a smooth ride and showed numerous plants and birds

Everything was amazing. Wonderful experience will definitely do it again!!!
