A working ranch at the base of Rincón de la Vieja volcano — natural hot springs, white-water rafting, zip-lines, and horseback riding all from the property. Not a beach resort; the best inland adventure base in Guanacaste, an hour from Liberia on good roads.
Why We Chose It
Hacienda Guachipelín is the adventure base camp of Guanacaste — a working cattle ranch at the base of the Rincón de la Vieja volcano with access to natural thermal hot springs, a network of zip-lines through the forest, white-water tubing on the Río Colorado, horseback riding, and a natural waterslide into a thermal river. Rooms are comfortable and unpretentious. Day passes available if you're staying elsewhere.

- Natural thermal hot springs on the property
