Location: Along the Guanacaste Mountain Range in the Guanacaste and Alajuela provinces, 27 km northeast of Liberia.

With an altitude of 1,853 meters above sea level, Rincón de la Vieja Volcano is one of five volcanoes in the Guanacaste range. Though currently passing through a period of relative inactivity, it is an active volcano exhibiting sporadic small eruptions and steam. On clear days, the volcano’s summit offers spectacular views of Lake Nicaragua, along with Maderas and Concepción volcanoes, while views to the south and southeast provide glimpses of Culebra Bay, Santa Elena and the gulfs of Papagayo and Nicoya. Also within the limits of the national park are Jilgueros Lagoon, Las Pailas and the Cataratas Perdidas waterfalls.
