Rincón de la Vieja Volcano Adventure Combines Horseback Ride and Volcanic Wonders


A full-day adventure at Rincón de la Vieja Volcano offers travelers an immersive journey into one of Costa Rica’s most dynamic natural landscapes. The experience begins at Hotel Hacienda Guachipelín with a scenic 45-minute horseback ride through peaceful forest trails leading toward the Las Pailas entrance of the national park.


Along the route, guests enjoy sweeping views of Guanacaste’s countryside while observing the region’s rich wildlife. The combination of open landscapes, forest paths, and guided horseback travel creates an authentic introduction to the volcanic region.


Once inside the park, the adventure continues on foot along the 3.5 km Las Pailas loop trail. Here, visitors encounter powerful geothermal activity, including steaming fumaroles, bubbling mud pits, and boiling clay pools that showcase the raw energy of the volcano.


The surrounding tropical dry forest adds another layer of discovery, with opportunities to spot monkeys, coatis, armadillos, iguanas, and diverse bird species. With its mix of volcanic activity, wildlife, and scenic terrain, the experience delivers a vivid and unforgettable look at Costa Rica’s natural forces.

This farm is AMAZING!! I was visiting Dublin and decided last minute I’d like to go ride while I was here. Lisa and her team were so kind and welcoming and squeezed me in. The horse I rode, Evan, was so beautiful and kind and all their horses were well behaved and clearly loved and taken care of. Jesse led our trek and did amazing and made sure everyone was comfortable. Truly an unforgettable experience surrounded by kind and caring horse people and lovely horses. Since I was visiting they even had boots and a hat I could wear which was perfect. Though I am an experienced rider, their horses and team would be perfect for all levels and ages.This is the place if you’re looking for a lovely ride through the country or beach!
