Hacienda Lodge Guachipelín

Hacienda Lodge Guachipelín is an old Guanacaste-style cattle ranch alongside the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano. Here, visitors seeking adventure in a setting of unspoiled nature find everything they look for: the lodge has its own private reserve, protecting an important area of tropical dry forest that is home to many endangered tree species such as the such as cenizaro, cenizaro macho, guapinol, danto amarillo, lechoso and others. This is a bird watcher's paradise. Birds are abundant such as toucans, golden orioles, magpies, woodpeckers, bell birds and many others.

Many exciting tours are available to adjacent Rincon de la Vieja National park and within the reserve. Hot springs, boiling mud holes and sulfur vapor vents are fascinating signs of the ongoing volcanic activity. You can also admire the crater of an active volcano or hike to another inactive crater. Explore nature with a Canopy Tour, or take a swim in natural mineral water ponds. Horseback riding, hiking with a bilingual guide, bird watching or simply getting to know the way of life of the sabanero, the Guanacastecan Cowboy, will make your stay unforgettable.
