Description
Escape the crowds of Quepos and Manuel Antonio and discover a peaceful hidden gem surrounded by the lush tropical landscape of Costa Rica. What makes this destination particularly fascinating is the geological origin of its warm waters. Unlike many of Costa Rica's famous hot springs, which are associated with volcanic activity, the thermal waters found here are non-volcanic in origin. Rainwater naturally filters deep into the Earth's crust through geological fractures and faults, where it is warmed by the Earth's natural geothermal heat before finding its way back to the surface. Once you arrive, relax in four natural hot spring pools surrounded by tropical vegetation and the sounds of nature. Keep an eye out for colorful butterflies and tropical birds while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the gentle sound of the nearby river. When weather and river conditions are safe, enjoy the river's natural pools and crystal-clear water flowing over smooth rocks. The experience is especially enjoyable during the dry season, when the river is generally calmer and the water level is lower. For safety reasons, access to the river may be restricted when rainfall, strong currents, or high water levels make conditions unsuitable. This experience is the perfect way to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a relaxing day away from the crowds. Whether you want to soak in the warm springs, explore the river, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings, this hidden destination offers an authentic Costa Rican experience surrounded by nature.Includes
