Ricon de La Vieja NATIONAL PARK
Within a one and half hour drive, we arrive at the base of
this active volcano. Along the way we make various stops for
photo opportunities. We will travel through some charming
villages and past cattle farms before arriving at the
starting point of our hike. In this natural hike, we start
in an open savannah-type area, and then come upon a number
of steamy sulfur water ponds, bubbling mud, and fumaroles
all related to the volcanic activity below. After admiring
this natural process, we begin to ascend into the tropical
rain forest - crossing creeks and getting deeper into the
dense and lush vegetation.
Our guide will point out many details of the forest such as
Tiger Ants, Fire Ants, Strangler Fig Trees, monkeys,
iguanas, agoutis, coatis, as well as sharing many other
forest facts.
Optional:
After this hike we can visit a 40 ft waterfall to relax and
swim.
