Arenal Volcano Tour Costa Rica
Description
King Tour take to enjoy Arenal Volcano and Tabacon Hot Springs from Jaco and Los Suenos. Arenal Volcano is one of the seven historically active volcanoes in Costa Rica. Arenal Volcano was considered to be doormat until an unexpected eruption in 1968 destroyed the small town of Tabacon. Due to the eruption 2 more craters were formed, although only one remains today famously filled with aqua blue water.
The Arenal Volcano National Park is home to 75% of the total 850 species of birds that have been identified in Costa Rica. Just as diverse in wildlife sloths, white-faced capuchin monkeys, coati, deer and snakes, including the infamous fer-de-lance, parrot snake and boa constrictor can be found here.
The volcano’s geothermal activity heats dozens of underground water flumes, creating a large number of hot springs. The Springs of Tabacon are indulgent, stress relieving and the perfect way to end the day in Arenal. Tabacon Hot Springs consists of natural in-river pools, waterfalls, and pools throughout the resort.
Discover Costa Rica´s largest network of naturally flowing thermal mineral springs in Arenal’s largest and most beautiful private, rainforest reserve. This is where the thermal experience begins.
Tabacón has five different springs, the temperatures differ from 77 F (25 C) to 122 F (50 C). The thermal river that flows through the resort is heated by the still active Arenal Volcano. The resort has a cold river as well, go here to change temperatures (very good for the body and skin).
The main area has a swim-up bar and a waterslide. Enjoy a refreshing drink while you are relaxing in the streaming water. Find some adventure after the relaxing and go down the waterslide. The lower section has secluded pools that give an amazing view of the Arenal Volcano. All pools are surrounded by gardens.
Tabacón also has spa facilities where you can enjoy a variety of treatments. From Jaco and Los Suenos you can explore The Arenal Volcano and you’ll find some 2,500 species of tropical plants. Many are rare, including several types of bromeliads, orchids, ferns and roses. Butterflies and birds flit through the gardens, pausing to perch in a tree or rest on a flower.
