July 4, 2020 by Priyanka Patel Leave a Comment

Visiting Rincon de la Vieja will be a highlight of your holiday. One of the most ecologically diverse areas in Costa Rica, Rincon de la Vieja is part of the UNESCO World Heritage sites due to its diverse natural ecology having crucial habitats for rare and endangered flora and fauna. The Rincon de la Vieja National Park is 34,800 acre(14,084 ha). There is also the active Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, steaming fumaroles, bubbling mud pots, blue rivers and hot springs.

The Guanacaste Mountains (Cordillera de Guanacaste) inside the park have several volcanic peaks, with the Rincon de la Vieja’s peak lumbering in at 6,385 ft. (1,916 m.) above sea level. The blue rivers, black rivers and clear rivers created by Rincon de la Vieja are not only a great source of beauty, but a great source of hydro power and her volcanoes provide geothermal energy, which help to reduce the country’s reliance on fossil fuels.

Along the north side of the volcano is Blue River Resort & Hot Springs that offers much of what tourists seek in Costa Rica. Only this side of the volcano is in the rain forest, offers views of the smoking Rincon de la Vieja crater, blue rivers and natural hot springs.
