Corner of the Old Woman Costa Rica

Rincón de la Vieja is an active andesitic complex volcano located in the northwestern part of Costa Rica, approximately 25 km from Liberia, in the province of Guanacaste. The name translates to "The Old Woman's Corner," which is a nod to a local legend about a young woman whose lover was thrown into the volcano's crater by her father. Following this event, she chose to live in solitude on the mountain and was believed to possess healing powers. Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Park is centered around the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano and its surrounding volcanic and natural features. Visitors can expect to see a wide variety of unique plants and animals, as well as numerous hot, bubbling sulphurous mud pits and a small "mini-volcano."
