Rincon de la Vieja literally translates into ‘the corner of the old woman’. This unusual description refers to Curubande, the daughter of an Indian chief who spent the last years of her life as a medicine woman living on the flank of the volcano now called Rincon de la Vieja. The volcano has no less than 9 craters, is still active and is known for its volcanic activities, bubbling mud pools and bright blue waterfall.
You spend the night in a cozy Bed & Breakfast in the beautiful area near the Rincon de la Vieja volcano. There’s lots of adventure here; go tubing on the river, explore the area on horseback, book a canopy tour or hike in the national park of Rincon de la Vieja. Be sure to visit the natural spa (including mud bath) nearby or just enjoy the beautiful nature around the lodge.
If you would like to visit the National Park, keep in mind that the park is closed on Mondays. Are you there anyway on Monday? There is no need to be bored! There is a lot to experience, but my recommendation is to spend an afternoon relaxing in the natural thermal baths.
