Hacienda Guachipelín Rincón

Hacienda Guachipelín is a working cattle ranch and adventure resort situated at the foot of the Rincón de la Vieja volcano in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, where sulphated thermal hot springs fed by the active volcanic system flow through the dry tropical forest landscape of the Guanacaste Conservation Area—a UNESCO World Heritage site. The sulphate-rich mineral composition of these volcanic spring waters carries properties recognized for skin purification, antibacterial action, and musculoskeletal relief, while the volcanic mud found alongside the thermal pools offers additional dermatological benefits highly prized in Costa Rican volcano spa culture. Activities ranging from white-water tubing and zip-lining to horseback riding across the hacienda's volcanic savannah landscape make Guachipelín a rare destination where sulphurous geothermal bathing is seamlessly integrated into the full tropical adventure of Costa Rica's northwestern volcanic wilderness.
