Day 2: Rincon de la Vieja National Park

Mon. 2 Feb 2026

Rincon de la Vieja Volcano Park Las Pailas - Oropendula fall Hike

Highlights: In Rincon de la Vieja you walk past mud pools in various shades of colors in boiling volcanic water! Excellent destination for wildlife!

This morning you will walk the 3.5-km Las Pailas circular path through the tropical forest to enjoy the best views of the volcano, incredible nature, volcanic activity, and wildlife. The park is home to more than 300 species of birds, and many other animals.

Oropéndola Waterfall will most likely make your jaw drop. Set in a gorge along the Río Blanco River, the waterfall bisects a craggy rock wall and tumbles for 82 feet before crashing into a most inviting turquoise pool. Swims here are refreshing and heavenly; sunrays drench the water with warmth and light, there are shallow areas that are perfect for wading, and the entire place feels secluded.
