In Costa Rica’s Northern Plains, Arenal Volcano anchors a landscape of protected forest, rivers, waterfalls and natural hot springs. La Fortuna de San Carlos is the nearby base named by the national park authority. Arenal Volcano National Park offers marked routes through rainforest and past lava-flow terrain, with views toward the volcano and Lake Arenal. Thermal bathing is available at privately operated properties in the area, including The Springs Resort & Spa. Treat these as leisure experiences rather than health treatments: enjoy the setting, move at your own pace, and check operators and park authorities for current conditions before setting out.
