“I cannot emphasize or say enough about how much peace of mind he gave us… My husband, who hates traveling, told me that he would be happy to travel in the future as long as it is as easy and seamless as Alejandro made it feel.”

No. This experience takes place at Hacienda Guachipelín and does not include the Las Pailas hiking trail or admission to Rincón de la Vieja National Park.
The minimum age for river tubing is eight. The canyon canopy activity accepts children from age four, but this does not make the complete Adventure Pass suitable for every younger child.
Please include children’s ages in your inquiry so we can check the activity requirements and available arrangements for your family.
We’ll take it from there. Send us your preferred date, accommodation and number of travelers, including children’s ages. Let us know whether you’d like private transfers with shared activities or a private tour for your group.
We’ll check availability and put together your Rincón de la Vieja adventure day.
