These are visible as significant holes in the ground, consistently emitting steam, accompanied by unique gurgling sounds and a distinctive sulfur smell.

We had an amazing time at Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja. The hike through the national park was the highlight of our day, with beautiful scenery and ending with a swim at the stunning Oropendula Waterfall. After the hike, we enjoyed a relaxing visit to the hot springs.
Our guide, Christian, really stood out. He was knowledgeable and passionate about the culture and nature around us, making the experience even better. His insights added a lot to the tour.
We highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the area. Christian’s guidance made it a memorable experience.

Jose our guide was excellent. He was nice and attentive to our needs. He was knowledgeable and our day was super pleasant. We learnt a lot, had a great hike, enjoyed the waterfalls and the thermal springs. The only thing that would have made it better was to have cold water available as was promised.

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!
