A relaxing natural activity you can do while in volcano territory is to visit naturally heated thermal hot springs.

Natural thermal waters are rich in natural minerals and are a wonderful treatment for your skin. Even without mineral mud baths or body scrubs, your skin will be soft and radiant after a dip in a thermal pool. All thermal resorts have pools of different temperatures for you to relax the day or night away in. Many of the hot springs near the Arenal Volcano are close enough so that on a clear night you can see lava flowing, or at least hear its and rumblings.

Resorts like Tabacon and Baldi in La Fortuna have a laybrinth of secluded pools amidst tropical gardens with views of Arenal Volcano and swim-up bars. Contact us to make your reservation now.

Volcano Rincon de la Vieja
