6. Guanacaste: Sensoria Thermal Pools in Rincon de la Vieja
Embark on a relaxing trip to the thermal pools of the Sensoria Land of Senses and Magical Rainforest in Alajuela Province. Walk through the lush rainforest and experience the healing waters of a cold and warm spring. Lunch, entry fees, and a bilingual tour guide are included in your trip.
Amongst the greenery of the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, arrive at Sensoria, known as the Land of Senses and Magical Rainforest. Meet your guide and enjoy a welcome drink before grabbing a walking stick and venturing into the forest.
Your entry ticket not only includes access to the natural thermal pools, but also to the Buenos Aires Waterfall, Aguilar Waterfall, and the observation platform, so you’ll have plenty to see as you spend time in Sensoria.
First, make your way to a picturesque spot named after a very special tree, the Jícaro Danto (Parmentiera varelii). This unique tree is endemic to the Guanacaste and Tilarán mountain ranges, meaning it cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Then, take a dip in warm, curative volcanic waters. Float away with the canopy above and refresh your spirit as you admire the surrounding forest. Feel the warmth of the nourishing hypothermal waters and find shelter beneath a hanging ranch or massage your body with a rainforest shower.
Experience a unique natural pool with marble floors that gathers healing waters from two different springs: one cold and one warm. Before the end of your trip, enjoy lunch (choice of chicken wrap, vegetarian wrap, gluten-free salad, or rice with chicken).
