Swirling mud pools and hot water springs

One of the highlights of the lodge where you stay are the hot springs. Today, the benefits of bathing in thermal waters are known worldwide; wonderful relaxation, relief of tense muscles and feelings of physical and psychological well-being.

Walking in Rincón de la Vieja National Park is a must. The guide will take you along the 5 km long “Las Pailas” route where you can enjoy the best views of the active Rincon de la Vieja Volcano without climbing the main crater. Like everywhere else in Costa Rica, you’ll be amazed by the flora and fauna. The national park includes several ecosystems: you will find beautiful flowers and centuries-old trees, which in turn are home to numerous species of animals, birds and insects. In total you will find 300 different species of birds, as well as monkeys, jaguars, pumas and tapirs.

You can also walk along small waterfalls, rustling rivers, fragrant sulphur lakes, swirling mud pools and mini volcanoes.

Today take your time to have breakfast, let the children swim and leave for your next destination in Costa Rica. Choose the building blocks in La Fortuna: “Visit a school and play music on a farm” or the “Hot springs at the Arenal volcano”.  You can also continue to Monteverde for “Floating through the cloud forest of Monteverde”.
