Once you are picked up at your hotel or holiday rental, you will be driven through palm plantations and a jungle back country before arriving at the thermal springs. It is a informative 45 minute ride where a bilingual guide will explain the history of the local area while looking for wildlife along the way. Once you arrive at your destination, there are bathrooms where one can change. Then we walk 5 minutes to get o the thermal pools and the river. There are 5 pristine thermal pools where one can relax while experiencing a natural clay mask. One can also swim in the crystal clear waters of the river where the pools are 2 ft to 6 ft deep. There are three naturally carved out rock slides where everyone in the family can have a blast going down them, especially the kids. After spending some time in the river and thermal pools we walk 5 minutes to a open air Rancho style restaurant where a typical Costa Rican meal will be served. A natural fruit drink or coffee is included and alcoholic drinks like beer can be purchased.
