About This Tour


The Hacienda Guachipelin Adventure Tour combines some of Guanacaste’s most exciting outdoor activities with private transportation and time to relax in naturally heated volcanic waters. Located near Rincón de la Vieja National Park, Hacienda Guachipelín is surrounded by tropical dry forest, volcanic landscapes, rivers and dramatic canyons.

Your day begins with private pickup from your hotel or vacation rental in one of our selected Guanacaste service areas. Travel in an air-conditioned vehicle toward Hacienda Guachipelín, where the park’s professional activity guides provide instructions, safety equipment and assistance throughout the different adventures.

The experience includes the Canyon Canopy Tour through the RĂ­o Blanco Canyon, featuring zip lines and rappelling above the river and forest. You will also experience the RĂ­o Negro Tubing Adventure, navigating an exciting section of Class III rapids in an individual inflatable tube.

An optional horseback-riding portion provides another way to explore the hacienda’s trails and waterfall area. A traditional Costa Rican lunch is included during the day, giving you time to rest before continuing with the remaining activities.

The tour finishes at the RĂ­o Negro Hot Springs, where you can unwind in volcano-heated thermal pools surrounded by tropical forest. Guests may also experience the volcanic mud bath before changing into dry clothes and meeting their driver for the private return transfer to the hotel.

This tour is recommended for active travelers, couples, families with older children and groups looking to combine adventure, nature and relaxation in one complete day.
