How to reach Costa Rica's hot springs
San José for Arenal/La Fortuna (3 hours); Liberia for Guanacaste's Rincon de la Vieja. Shuttles and rental cars both work well.
Where Costa Rica's springs cluster
- Arenal & La Fortuna — Tabacón, Baldi, Ecotermales — the famous volcano-view cluster.
- Rincon de la Vieja — Volcanic mud pots and wilder Guanacaste springs.
Best time to visit
December–April is the dry season. The Caribbean side stays greener year-round; Arenal's weather is famously fickle regardless.
Good to know
Tabacón is the splurge and worth it — book the day pass ahead. Ecotermales caps numbers for a quieter experience. Rainforest plus hot water plus volcano views: this is the postcard.
