Felt very unsafe travelling to location as driver was constantly on his phone while driving. Once we arrived both the local guide and TUI guide gave very little information while walking round the forest. Was expecting more wildlife and guides made little effort to find anything. A few times the guides were just on their phones and even went missing at one point in the forest. Lunch was good but other than that very poor value for money. Has now made us rethink if TUI are for us now.
The northeastern slope of Rincón de la Vieja volcano is swathed in rainforest. And it makes for some of the most exotic hiking trails in Costa Rica. Trek through an exclusive private estate packed with wildlife and endemic flora. You may even get the chance to bathe in a thermal stream. A traditional local lunch is also included. As you hike through the jungle, you'll reach waterfalls, streams and thermal springs, and see colourful orchids and wildlife. Here, tapirs, howler monkeys and pumas roam freely. You'll visit waterfalls – some tinted electric blue – before reaching the hot springs. Depending on the season, you can slide into the warm volcanic water.
