Active Volcano Walk at Rincon de la Vieja

John_D, May 2024
Active Volcano Walk at Rincon de la Vieja There is no better way to take in the Active Volcano at Rincon De La Vieja than with Jose! On Thursday, May 16, 2024, Jose was my tour guide for one of the most delightful days in the area. Jose arrived in a nice Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle, and we started on our journey. Jose was amazing in his knowledge of the area. It was awesome to spend time in a private setting with Jose to learn about the region and the items that impact the area. Jose is a connoisseur of nature and his knowledge of the volcano area is unparalleled! He can point out animals and creatures that I would have walked by. He has a great route through the park that I would not have taken without his expertise. The National Park is well maintained and has mostly paved paths that take you to see the various volcano areas and boiling mud pits. The park has great full-service restrooms and a nice gift shop for souvenirs. Part of the tour is lunch at a local spot on the way back to the hotel. Having lunch at a local spot is a great way to experience the delicious food that is available. This is also a great time to sit with Jose and learn more about the area. I highly recommend you book a private tour with Jose for the Active Volcano Walk.

Well worth it
