Rincón de Ia Vieja National Park

     A volcano that rises majestically out of the park 6.284 feet is just one of the sights to see in this park. Any traveler that takes the time to visit Rincón de IA Vieja is sure to have a thoroughly memorable adventure. Not only are the trails winding through the park a distinct pleasure, but the hike to the volcano summit is a feat worth bragging over.
     There is a visitor's center found at the park entrance and while no guides are available, there is a detailed map that will aid you in finding your way around. Visitors have three options in Rincón de Ia Vieja. Thorough exploration requires at least two days and luckily, there are a number of small hotels found close to the park. Adventurous travelers can set out to hike the active volcano but heed the park ranger's advice when he says to start out early in the morning. The sun is merciless and the hike is ten miles on volcanic terrain. Pack water, sun protection and a hat if you plan on at tempting to summit this peak. For those with a penchant for trails, there are eight miles of them crisscrossing the park. On your hike you will encounter bubbling mud pots, a sulfur lake and a wide variety of wildlife. Signs along the path will guide you to singular spots of interest such as a tumbling waterfall where you can stand before the cascade on a large boulder.
