The location is unparalleled at the foot of the towering, active Rincón de la Vieja Volcano in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Owned by the Batalla family for more than 40 years, the 3,400-acre traditional ranch encompasses exotic dry tropical forest bordering the Rincón de la Vieja National Park and World Heritage Site, the Guanacaste Conservation Area.
Experience volcanic activity like no other volcano in Costa Rica at Rincón de la Vieja. Natural hot springs, bubbling volcanic mud pits, steaming fumaroles, mini-geysers, and jungle waterfalls put on the most spectacular show of any volcano in the country.
Savor the flavors of authentic Costa Rican cuisine at Hacienda Guachipelin Restaurant. Delicious, fresh meals are lovingly prepared by our Costa Rican chefs following time-honored traditional recipes from our region of Guanacaste and Costa Rica.
Hacienda Guachipelin offers you farm-to-table homemade meals, producing on our ranch much of the food that we serve in our Hacienda Restaurant. What we don’t grow or raise ourselves, we source fresh from sustainable local vendors. We offer both an a la carte menu and buffet menu with traditional Costa Rican cuisine and international dishes.
No artificial ingredients, MSG, canned foods or boxed juices are found in our kitchen. We make everything fresh, including using only fresh herbs and spices from our garden. We offer many possibilities for persons with dietary restrictions: gluten-free, non-dairy, vegetarian and vegan – we have many options.
Each of the 64 down-to-earth ranch-style rooms feature beautiful handcrafted Guanacaste hardwood furniture and comfortable details that allow you to relax amid the sounds of nature.
