Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin

Hacienda Guachipelin is 20 kilometers from Liberia in the small town of Curubande. It’s 5 kilometers from the entrance of Rincon de la Vieja National Park. It used to be a cattle farm but the owners decided to turn it into a mini adventure park since they have a river and lots of waterfalls on the property. As today, Guachipelin offers one of the most popular and fun day tours in Guanacaste!

They also have small cabins so visitors can stay overnight and experience more of Rincon de la Vieja but the most popular activity is their one day tour.

Guachipeline One Day Adventure Pass Ziplining

First, up was the canopy tour (ziplining). I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pumped for a fun day of zipping through the trees!

The first few ziplines were a piece of cake, short and sweet and they even let us go upside down on a couple of them which was awesome! Then it went through the river canyon which was amazing. They have an optional rappel and rock climb, and then you have to tarzan swing over the river.

So much fun!

Horseback Riding

After we finished the canopy tour, we headed back to the main office and got a little breather before our next activity: horseback riding! We geared up, got on our horses and headed off into the forest.

The entire horseback riding was about 1 hour and we stopped quickly at a blue waterfall on the way. When we finished the horseback riding, we got on the Guachipelin bus to take us to the white water tubing start point.

Our guide explained to us about the tubing, the proper way to sit on the tube and safety tips. After that we put on our helmet and life jackets, carried our tube down and started our next adventure!

Guachipelin White Water Tubing

This river with class 1 and 2 rapids runs through Rincon de la Vieja and the entire tubing tour is a grand total of 5 kilometers (3.1 miles), lasting about 1-1.5 hours.

This was probably the most fun hour I’ve ever had. The rapids weren’t too big so there is very low chance of falling out or any feeling of danger but they were strong enough that you get knocked around enough like bumper boats and you have handles to hold onto. I felt like a little kid on a hot summer day at the water park except this time, I was floating around in a beautiful natural river!

There are lazy pools after every few falls where you can float around and take it all in: the delicious refreshing water, the sun, the gorgeous sky, the trees and the wildlife.

At first I thought an hour would be plenty of time for the tubing but at the end I was so bummed it was over already! By the time we finished, it was 2pm and I was ready for some delicious buffet lunch.

Lunch

Lunch is at the Hacienda Guachipelin restaurant and it’s buffet style with typical Costa Rican food. They offer lots of salads, rice, beans, veggies and meat.

After lunch, you can take as much time as you want to get to the hot springs. You do need your own transportation for this part since the hot springs are 5 kms away from the adventure center.

There are a lot of signs for the hot springs that will point you the right way.

Guachipelin Hot Springs and Mud Baths

You can stay as long as you want at the hot springs which closes at 6. The receptionist will give you towels and there are bathrooms/changing stations at the entrance. From there, follow the trail down to the hot springs. You’ll cross one hanging bridge which has a great view of the hot springs!

The proper way to do the whole mud baths-hot springs thing is like this. First, cover yourself in mud. Like your whole face, body, chest, everything. Let it dry and then wash off in the showers or if you’re feeling adventurous, in the river. The water is so refreshing!

Once you wash all the mud off, then jump into the hot springs and relax! There were only two pools for the hot springs but they are right over a river so you are surrounded by nature. I loved the hot springs at Guachipelin since it’s right next to a river. Soaking in natural hot water while listening to the river running is so soothing and relaxing.

After the hot springs, you’ll feel SO relaxed and ready to go home. We stayed about 1 hour at the hot springs. Hot springs close at 6 PM and you can stay as long as you want until they close.

The End of a Fun Day

This is one of our favorite tours in Costa Rica since you get a little bit of everything in this tour: excitement, adrenaline and relaxation. It’s one of the best ways to experience the dry tropical forests, nature and volcanoes of Guanacaste.
