Located at the foothills of the Rincón de la Vieja volcano National Park is Hacienda Guachipelín, this volcano is the only active in the Guanacaste mountain range. Enjoy the natural hot springs, magic waterfalls and do whitewater rafting at the Rio Negro in individuals boats.
The picturesque Oropéndola Waterfall will most likely make your jaw drop. Set in a gorge along the Río Blanco River, the waterfall bisects a craggy rock wall and tumbles for 82 feet before crashing into a most inviting turquoise pool. Swims here are refreshing and heavenly; sunrays drench the water with warmth and light, there are shallow areas that are perfect for wading, and the entire place feels secluded. Part of the fun of visiting this waterfall is descending into the gorge on the footbridge that crosses the river.
Then, enjoy non-stop fun and excitement bouncing and splashing down five km (three miles) of Class II and III rapids along this narrow, rushing river of crystal-clear water. There are plenty of quiet pools along the way to appreciate the beautiful tropical scenery of the Rio Negro (Black River). The special, individual river tube rafts are designed with handles and protective bottoms.
After lunch, enjoy the natural hot springs to relax and rejuvenate in this beautiful volcanic landscape.
