The adventure begins when you arrive at Liberia Airport, where you’ll meet our representative and be on your way. We’ll provide a private transfer through the countryside to Hacienda Guachipelin Lodge, in the shadow of Rincon de la Vieja Volcano. Hacienda Guachipelin, an authentic working ranch and nature preserve, will be your base for activities during the next few days. While there, you’ll experience awesome adventures including a Canopy Zipline Adventure over a natural canyon, plus a Whitewater Tubing Adventure through the same canyon down the Rio Negro. You’ll also have plenty of ME TIME to explore the Rincon de la Vieja area as well. If you’d like to add even more activities, we’d recommend checking out their tour list which includes local cultural experiences, hikes, hot springs, waterfalls, or the nearby national park.

Next up, we’ll provide a transfer sending you down to the southernmost tip of the scenic Nicoya Peninsula, where you’ll be staying at the luxurious oceanfront Nantipa Hotel in Santa Teresa.
