Rincón de la Vieja National Park

The Rincón de la Vieja National Park was established in 1973 to protect the flora, fauna and groundwater around the volcano. The summit of the volcano is 1´895m above sea level, and its active crater releases steam and gases as well as eruptions every now and then.

A very interesting attraction is the circular hiking trail Las Pailas, where you can observe geysers and bubbling mud holes, the impressive vegetation with huge trees and a seasonal waterfall.
