      A spot that offers fumaroles, bubbling mud pits and boiling ponds, together with views of native mammals (agoutis, white-nosed coatis) and toucans is a natural gem. The park could use a bit more help (all those entrance fees should go back to it) such as: labels with names of the beautiful trees and shrubs, fixing the swinging bridge broken slats, some information and pictures of the fauna and flora one can encounter. Well worth the visit, though, the natural beauty is striking, and we got to see toucans!

      I have visited many of the parks in Costa Rica and this is one of my favorites!! I had transportation to and from the park arranged through my hostel for $20 round-trip. Be advised that there is no public transportation to the park to my knowledge. Unfortunately when we went, the hike to the summit of the volcano was still closed due to winds. It seems it has been closed for years and is unlikely to open in the near future. Instead of opting for the popular Las Pailas loop first, we opted to hike to the La Cangreja waterfall first and finished with the Las Pailas loop in reverse. Best decision! We seriously had the waterfall to ourselves in the morning for a swim and by the time we did the Las Pailas loop, the crowds had diminished tremendously. Make sure to wear a swimming suit and bring plenty of water and bug spray. The little restaurant/store is pricey, so I would suggest bringing a lunch. They have some very nice picnic tables in the park.

      The waterfall is very beautiful. The hike is quite easy and around 10-15 mins long one way. However, please note you will get nickeled and dimed at ANY attraction you want to see. The entrance to the "national park" is 700 colones. The "attractions" of the park however are private property belonging to the "Guachipelin" locals. We are still trying to understand what is the "National Park". The roads? Maybe the power lines? There are no signs indicating you have to pay the locals to hike to the volcanos, hot springs, or waterfalls. The first time we went we paid nothing in addition to the park fee. That was just last week. The second time a local man in unofficial clothing hunted 2 in our group down and said "Give me $10". We were at Oropendola Waterfall. We spoke to other hiker tourist there and they said no one made them pay anything. Other hikers from Europe were very irritated with the tourism in Costa Rica because every turn, they want MORE money for you to see or do anything. Costa Rica was not so money hungry when I was here 10 years ago. I advised the Guachipelin that visitors were angry with the lack of information that they would have to empty their wallets once they entered the park. Also, that it's not right to charge some and not others and Please! Put signs of fees up where all can see! People need to know how much money they will need to bring. Especially backpackers on a budget. Fyi the Oropendola Waterfall is $5 per person. Path to La Cangreja & Escondidas Waterfall is $15 per person and 4 hour total hike. Path to Las Pailas Trail & Sector Santa Maria is also $15 per person and 2 hours total. Rio Negro Hotsprings was $10 per person. The park is not open on Mondays and closes at 5pm on open days.

      True Special Places where we rented the condo, we booked a day tour to Rincon de La Viega forest trip. Almost two hours each way for a two hour tour of the forest. Plan was to see the wildlife, monkeys, exotic birds, snakes etc. We saw two monkeys, one bird, one snake. Although our guide was good the trip was a disappointment. The waterfall which was an attraction was dried out. We understand it is mother nature, but we should have been told.At a price of $90.00 per person plus tip, I feel there must be other tours which are better. My comments is just for future traveller to be aware.

      It is worth the hike!!! We went at 200pm and not too many people there. Spectacular show of nature and a fun dip in her pool at the same time. Go for it!!!

      Good walking area, among others to a nice spot with a small waterfall and natural swimmingpool. So bring not only water and some snack, but also your swimmingsuit.

      HUNDREDS of people here, many buses and parking lots over flowing. I have never seen so many people at a park, and that was less used entrance. Tried to do a hike, stuck single file people in front and behind. Stood at a little bridge, waited for an endless steam of people, gave up and turned back. We did another side trail that was nicer, part closed for volcanic reasons, maybe 30 people using it, which is still quite a few. No birds. Saw one coati. I will give this park another try in the slow season. We didn't get far enough in to give it a chance. Definitely avoid in high season.

      This is our favorite National Park in CR. We love the fumerols, and boiling mud pots. We have hiked several times on this active volcano, and really enjoyed the geothermic wonders, animals, waterfalls and surrounding forest. We normally do the short 4k hike that allows the visitor to see the fumerols and mudpots. We have also done the 10k hike to Congrejo Falls which is one for the more adventurous visitor, but well worth the trip. We always stay at Hacienda Guachepelin because included with the room is their private hot springs, access to three other waterfalls, ziplines, white water rafting, canyoning, and horseback riding adventures. This is CR's least visited park, but one of its best.

      The park was difficult to find. The road to the entrance was so bad I was driving 5 km an hour.The green private toll gate was strange too.The hike took you through rainforest and wood forests and then suddenly desert and hot mid pools. Interesting. But the trial is not clear and only after did I realize the danger of snakes, etc.$15USD entrance fee is also really high.

      This is an amazing place where you can get close to the volcanic activity. We entered at the Los Pailas entrance & took the 3k loop trail. Upon the advice of our B&B owner, we went clockwise, starting with the more difficult part of climbing over rocks & trees. While we met a few people going in the opposite direction we were alone for a good bit of the hike. Loved seeing the fumaroles & mudpots. Bring plenty of water.There is a soda near the entrance but drinks are expensive. Off of its parking lot you can hike down to a pool & Orependolo waterfall. Fairly easy except that last part.
