This is your chance to see what very few other have seen up close, the lake-filled crater of Rincón de la Vieja Volcano. It's a hike though, you will have to climb 3,281 feet to earn these bragging rights! The summit is 5,925 feet above sea level so the views can be astonishing - if it's a clear day we'll be able to see Nicaragua, the Pacific Ocean, and the Caribbean Ocean. We'll have lunch at the top, enjoying the complete lack of tourists and the feeling that we've gone very far back in time.
The crater hike takes about 8 hours, and we'll cover about 10 miles. For those who prefer less altitude and/or distance in their hiking routes we highly recommend hiking to some of the spectacular waterfalls in the park. Make sure to include La Crangreja ("The Crab") Waterfall - it drops 131 feet into a swimming hole with copper salt giving the water a beautiful blue color. There are three other outstanding waterfalls, our Program Director will help you choose!
