I read reviews before we went to Costa Rica so I knew it would be busy on the weekend, so I had this on my itinerary for Monday. We happened to drive by on the weekend so I had my wife and cousin hop out...More

There is something magical about parking and taking a quick jaunt off the side of the road to encounter an amazing and totally free geothermally heated river. It is an easy trek, and the surroundings are gorgeous. We generally ended our days of trekking around...More

You park on the road outside of Tabacon Spa, which seems kind of sketchy, especially because a man will approach and say he will watch the car and show you where to go. However, it ended up working out beautifully. We gave him a small...More

Easy to get there, its on the road to arenal. You can easy park there before the bridge. We walked below before the bridge at the yellow gate, but its easier to walk over the road/bridge first to go down on the other side. Its...More
