Hacienda Guachipelin

Adventure and hacienda afternoons at Guachipelin

At the foot of Rincón de la Vieja, Hacienda Guachipelin brings Guanacaste's hacienda character together with a lively outdoor itinerary. Tropical dry forest surrounds the hotel, and the adventure center makes it easy to shape a stay around volcanic trails, river activities and time in the canopy.

Choose the tempo of your adventure

The landscape gives each activity a different perspective. A horse ride follows volcanic trails at a different rhythm; hiking puts you closer to the forest, while a zipline carries you through the canopy. Tubing and waterfall rappelling bring water and rock into the experience. Choose the activities you most want to enjoy, leaving space afterward for a hot-spring soak. Confirm which activities are included in your vacation arrangements.

Slow down at the hacienda

Between adventures, return to the swimming pool or book a massage at the spa. The restaurant emphasizes Costa Rican recipes and farm-to-table ingredients, keeping the region present even in the quieter hours of the day.

Rustic touches in the rooms and suites preserve the hacienda atmosphere alongside modern comforts. Families can compare larger accommodation, and couples can consider a suite for more room between outings. Solar energy, composting and water conservation keep sustainability connected to the day-to-day running of the property. Staff assistance can help you shape the balance of exploring and unwinding.
