Explore the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Park where you can experience waterfalls, hot springs, and volcanic fumaroles. Your day starts with a hike to Las Pailas, which means “The Cauldrons” in Spanish, showcasing steaming fumaroles, mini geysers, and bubbling volcanic mud pits. The hike through the Las Pailas loop trail takes you 2.5 miles (3.5 km) through dry tropical forest to see the best views of the volcano, tropical nature, and wildlife. After the hike get ready for a refreshing swim in the cool waters of the Oropendola waterfall, which plunges an impressive 82 feet (25 meters) to a sparkling turquoise pool in the lush canyon of the Rio Blanco (White River), creating a picturesque tropical oasis. Your day finishes at the Rio Negro Hot Springs that flow through 10 man-made pools filled with steaming mineral-rich volcanic water. Heated volcanic clay is available to smooth all over your skin like a spa body mask. After it dries, cleanse with refreshing crystal-clear river water before jumping back in the hot pools. Lunch is included before returning back to your beach resort
