We lazed around the Hotel Brasilito a little on our last day before heading out. We had planned to hike through Rincon de la Vierja National Park, and finally arrived after driving for a couple of hours along a road the GPS suggested, which took us past a garbage dump. Very romantic.
We arrived and managed to speak enough Spanish with the park ranger to pay our admission to the park and figure out a hiking route we wanted to take. I was pretty proud of us!
The park has two sections, but we decided to do one rather than both - Which turned out to be a great plan as the hike took us about 4 hours.
We stopped for a quick break at a waterfall along the path.
Kyle wanted to go for a dip, but the water level was too low.
We got to the end of the path and arrived at our destination - A hot spring pool heated from the nearby volcano. It was gorgeous and warm, though the smell was a little overwhelming.
We thought we'd camp overnight at the park, but the closest grocery store/restaurant being over an hours drive away changed our plans. We checked in at a local hotel instead, the Rinconcida Lodge, where we got our own cabin, private patio and delicious meals! So nice!
