You walk about 4 km, roughly three hours, through dry forest on the Pacific side of Rincon de la Vieja, with river crossings on the way. Lunch is included. The trip needs at least four people to run. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 6 hours, including transfers Hike: About 4 km and 3 hours on the trail Group size: 4 to 12 Lunch: Included Minimum age: 1, with an adult 🥾 What to Expect After hotel pickup you start from the trailhead and walk through forest, crossing shallow rivers as you go. The guide talks about the volcano and how it got its name, and sets the pace for the group. At La Leona you stop at the waterfall for photos and a swim if conditions allow, then walk back toward lunch. You eat after the hike, then return to your hotel. It is a shorter day than the tubing combo, but you are still on your feet for most of the trail time. Bring water even if the morning feels cool. 📍 Location The trail is on Rincon de la Vieja, inland from Playas del Coco. The forest on this side of the volcano is dry tropical forest, with river crossings rather than a single paved path. The waterfall sits off the usual park circuits, which is why the walk takes a few hours. Your guide handles the drive to the trailhead. Pickup time is confirmed after booking and depends on your hotel. Trails get muddy after rain. That is normal here, so do not wear shoes you want to keep clean. 🎒 Prerequisites Regular walking fitness is enough if you are fine with wet feet and uneven ground for a few hours. It is not a run, but it is more than a short viewpoint stroll. The departure needs four guests. If your group is smaller, ask whether you can join another booking on the same date. Children from age 1 can come if an adult stays with them on the slippery bits. Wear clothes that dry quickly and shoes with grip. 🌅 Why Choose Us The company has been running Guanacaste day trips since 2015, and a family team has owned it since 2023. They have worked in hotels and tours, and they still travel a lot themselves, so the days are set up around practical things: a clear pickup time, a guide who explains what is happening, and a group small enough to slow down when someone needs a break. Guides are trained in first aid. Vehicles are checked, insured, and approved for public tourism use in Costa Rica, with GPS tracking. Tours can be given in English, French, or Spanish. One team handles the drive, any park paperwork, and the activity, so you… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel pickup and drop-off within the Guanacaste pickup zone confirmed at booking Professional guide and on-tour safety briefings Activity equipment named on your Bokun voucher for this product Transport between activity bases on the published itinerary ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point if outside the pickup zone Travel insurance Gratuities Personal snacks and drinks ### Kit list Hiking shoes with grip Quick-dry clothing Reusable water bottle Towel and swimsuit for the waterfall pool Rain layer in wet season ## FAQs ### Why is the minimum group four? This SKU requires at least four paying guests to run, which keeps per-person costs viable for the remote trail logistics. If you have fewer than four, ask the operator about joining another date or group. Four people is the smallest group the trail transfer will run for. Smaller parties are often added to another booking the same day. ### How difficult is the 4 km hike? The route is moderate with river wading and uneven ground over about three hours of walking. Improver fitness is ideal; regular walkers who accept wet feet usually manage well. You are walking for about three hours, with stops. It is steady rather than steep the whole way. ### Is tubing included? No, this is the waterfall and lunch experience only; tubing is offered on a separate combo product. Book the combo listing if you want Rio Colorado tubing the same day. This listing stops at the waterfall and lunch. The tubing is only on the combo. ### Is lunch included? Yes, lunch is part of the six-hour itinerary after the waterfall visit. The meal is included in the price of the hike. Share dietary needs when the operator confirms pickup. Lunch is after the walk back from the waterfall, before the drive to your hotel. ### What age can join? Children from one year may participate with parents handling difficult trail sections. Infants must sit on laps during vehicle transfers per supplier notes. An adult needs to stay with young children on the wet rock. The trail is not a pushchair route. ### What should I wear? Wear shoes that grip on wet rock and clothing that dries quickly after river crossings. A small dry bag for electronics is wise on splashy sections. River water will come over your shoes. A dry layer in the van is worth packing for the ride home. ### How is this priced higher than the combo? This standalone SKU reflects the operator rate for the lunch-focused hike with a four-guest minimum. Compare inclusions before booking; the combo adds tubing for a different price point. The two products are priced separately in the booking system. Check what each one includes before you choose. ### Is wildlife likely? Dry forest birds and insects are common; monkeys appear occasionally depending on season and noise. Guides point out interesting plants and geology even when animals stay hidden. You are more likely to hear birds than to get a close look at monkeys. The guide will stop when something is worth seeing. ### Where is pickup? Guanacaste hotels around Playas del Coco and nearby towns are typical collection points. Exact morning times follow your hotel location and are sent after booking. The time depends on your hotel. You get the window after you book, not a fixed hour for every guest. ### How does pricing work on Adventuro? The from price reflects the operator rate in US dollars for this Bokun product before platform fees shown at checkout. Final totals depend on date, party size, and age categories in Bokun, and your confirmation voucher lists pickup details for the day you selected. The price on the page is the adult rate. Child prices show on the booking form once you pick a date. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/2ab21634-6dd0-4cca-a3c8-e6b7ecd892ef-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 5 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
