“Jeremy was an amazing guide for the mega combo tour. We absolutely loved the jungle slide and the zip wires and the lunch was delicious! Although there are loads of activities, there is no rush! The cultural tours were really interesting and the waterfall too! The horse riding was good fun and everything felt very safe and well organised. All the staff were really welcoming.”

Get a glimpse of all the activities included in your Mega Combo Tour Costa Rica.
💡 Please note: This is an example itinerary, and the exact order of activities is decided by the reception team on the day of your tour. If you don’t feel comfortable participating in one of the activities, you can simply skip it and spend more time enjoying the other adventures or relaxing at the hot springs.
Zip Lining Tour
Fly high above the rainforest and enjoy stunning views of the mountains and the distant Rincon de la Vieja volcano. The 7 zip lines vary in length and speed, and beneath one of them you can even spot a small waterfall!
Experienced guides assist you on every platform and make sure you’re safely secured to the zip line before every run. Reaching heights of up to 150 m (490 ft), this is one of the most exciting zip lines in Rincon de la Vieja.
Hanging Bridges (Optional)
Walk across 14 hanging bridges and experience the tropical forest from a unique perspective, on the same level as the tree canopy. With a bit of luck, you may even spot toucans, monkeys, and other local wildlife along the way.
Jungle Water Slide
Splash down the longest natural water slide in Costa Rica! This 425-meter (1400-ft) slide takes you on a fast ride through the jungle and offers a refreshing break from the tropical heat.
A Taste of Costa Rican Culture & Traditions
This Cultural Tour lets you discover Costa Rican traditions and agriculture firsthand. You’ll see how sugar cane is juiced and turned into sugar, learn about Costa Rican cuisine, and enjoy a coffee and food tasting. The tour concludes with a pottery demonstration, where you can also buy locally crafted ceramics as a unique souvenir.
Learn how sugar is made and try it yourself using a traditional ox-powered sugar cane press.
Try traditional corn-based dishes, local cheese, Costa Rican coffee, and tropical fruit juices.
Watch how handcrafted ceramics are made using traditional Costa Rican pottery techniques.
Horseback Riding Tour
Explore the diverse landscapes of Rincon de la Vieja like a local “Sabanero” (cowboys in Guanacaste). Ride along scenic trails through the rainforest and open fields while enjoying beautiful views of the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano in the distance.
Traditional Lunch
Recharge with an authentic Costa Rican lunch between your adventure activities. You can choose from a varied buffet with rice and beans, meat and fish, pasta, vegetables, fresh salads, desserts and more. Natural fruit drinks, Costa Rican coffee and tea are included.
Tractor Safari
After lunch, you will make your way to the hot springs on a tractor safari, a relaxed and fun way to explore local wildlife and the beautiful landscapes of Rincon de la Vieja.
Salitral Waterfall Hike (Optional)
Along the ride, you can choose to go on a 15-minute moderate walk to reach the impressive Salitral Waterfall. While swimming is not possible here, it’s a peaceful spot to take in the natural surroundings from a scenic viewpoint.
💡 Important note: The short hike to Salitral Waterfall requires a basic level of fitness and includes some larger steps, so it’s not suitable for guests with walking, knee or mobility issues. If you prefer, you can simply skip the hike and enjoy more time relaxing at the hot springs instead.
Hot Springs, Mud Bath & Sauna
Time to relax, treat yourself to a little spa routine, and simply enjoy nature. Begin with a few minutes in the sauna to open your pores. Afterwards, apply cleansing volcanic mud all over your body and let it dry on a platform surrounded by tropical forest. Wash the mud off under the showers before relaxing in the natural hot spring pools.

“We took the Buena Vista Mega Combo Tour, which was a great value and we had the most amazing time, thanks to our guide, Ronny! Ronny was incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and friendly.
