The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry at least 1.5–2 L of water and sip regularly—this is a 9-hour day with physically active segments.
Wear secure footwear
Use closed-toe shoes or water shoes for the horseback and waterfall sections to avoid slips on wet volcanic rock.
Bring local currency
Small vendors and the souvenir stop may accept only colónes or cash for pottery and trinkets.
Know health restrictions
Not recommended for guests with heart, spinal, or pregnancy concerns—ask provider about any additional restrictions before booking.

Conservation Note
Stay on marked paths to limit erosion; the area balances tourism with geothermal sensitivity—avoid soaps in thermal pools and respect signage.
The Guanacaste highlands blend indigenous Chorotega roots and colonial ranching; the volcanic soils supported sugarcane and cattle economies for generations.
