Gorgeous national park! A little remote and only really accessible via car. The station seems very deserted, but they have lots of information. The hike to the hot springs is great, 2 waterfalls on the way and lots of animals to see during the hike. The hot springs are unique, we were the only ones there. 6 different natural pools from cold to hot water. A must do in the rincon de la vieja!

This is a beautiful dry forest and there were no other people there, leaving its beauty for us alone to enjoy. If you don't like it, you're a jerk.

Si va de paseo tome en cuenta que no se permite el ingreso de plástico de un solo uso. El acceso a los sitios de interés es sencillo pero tiene un nivel de dificultad moderado a alto si viaja con personas mayores. Lleve comida porque en el camino no hay donde abastecerse. Las pailas de agua fría antes de la catarata la mariposa no son para bañarse. Si planea caminar entre el sector santa maría y el sector pailas debe de consultar al guardaparques y son alrededor de 16 km debe de tener buena condición física para hacerlo y llevar agua.

Small hiking place but still great.

What a great place to hike from! Hiked out to the hot springs. Which were lovely! The sulfur smell is pretty harsh, but it’s manageable. On the way back I wanted to stop by the cold springs, but they were very low. It is dry season after all. I saw a monkey, a deer, a Laro Falsa, and so much more. Really fun day trip!!! If you’re on a motorcycle, the ride out and back from Liberia is amazing! If you take a right where 918 forks off to the left, there’s quite an epic ride back to Liberia. (Should be experienced for this route)

Great place to start a hike in the National Park. River crossings are fun :)

fantastic park with volcanic springs, waterfalls, and much beauty. There is some difficult terrain, but easy for people used to hiking.

Super hermoso lugar el camino que lleva a santa maría esta bueno muy buena la atención de guarda parques y recordar que solo el pago de la entrada solo en tarjeta los senderos muy limpios y buena demarcación de momento solo esta por visita al día no se puede acampar asta nuevo aviso muy importante llevar provisión para ir no hay negocios de camino

Great 6 mile round trip hike to 2 waterfalls, a fumarole, and a hot spring. Road to the trailhead is slow going, but totally doable in a 2WD car with typical clearance. Trail is great - wide enough for two abreast. Hot springs are lovely - gorgeous spot with grass nearby and trees providing some shade. Maybe 20 other hikers were there today - even had the hot springs to ourselves for a 1/2 hour.

Way less crowded and just as beautiful
