The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before and during the day

Bring at least 1–2 liters of water in a refillable bottle; guides will provide short breaks but hydration keeps energy high.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes

Trails and tractor rides are uneven and can be muddy—trail runners or hiking shoes give traction and support.

Protect electronics from water and mud

Use a dry bag or waterproof case—waterslides and mud baths are unavoidable parts of the route.

Plan for sun and sudden rain

Light rain jackets and reef-safe sunscreen will keep you comfortable through changing coastal weather patterns.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sunset viewpoints near the hot springs with fewer visitors in late afternoon
  • Short off-trail streams near the waterfall for quiet wildlife spotting during dry season

Wildlife

  • howler monkeys
  • keel-billed toucan

Conservation Note

Tour operators often work with local communities to limit trail erosion and manage hot-spring use; stick to marked paths and avoid soaps in thermal pools to protect water chemistry.

Guanacaste’s landscape reflects volcanic activity and a strong ranching history—many trails follow old hacienda roads and volcanic deposits that shaped local hot springs.
