Our scenic route to the Rain Forest at Buena Vista, near the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, travels across the Guanacaste Mountain Range spotted with small villages and cattle ranches. Participants can test the therapeutic properties of the famous mineral clays and the warm waters of the natural Hot Springs while marveling at the lush tropical scenery typical of this region of Costa Rica.
