Nature and wildlife:
Costa Rica is known throughout the world for its rich biodiversity, flora and fauna.
Despite covering only 0.03% of the Earth’s surface, the country is home to around 6% of the world’s biodiversity: more than 500,000 species.
It’s very common to see wildlife when visiting Rincon Thermals. When hiking along the trails of the tropical dry forest, keep your eyes peeled for howler monkeys, white-faced capuchin monkeys, toucans, a wide variety of birds, and all kinds of plant species.
Waterfall:
On the Rincon Thermals property, there is a beautiful waterfall. It is about 50 feet high and plunges directly into the Tizate River. The sound of the rushing water announces the presence of this hidden gem, and it is recommended to take a dip in the refreshing cascade, as the water contains a wealth of medicinal minerals.
Whether you choose to simply admire the waterfall from one of Rincon’s many hot springs or dare to dive into the river and feel the force of the waterfall, it is undoubtedly a must-do activity in Rincon.
Relax in the hot springs:
The hot springs are a major attraction; you can soak in warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by the sounds of the Vandara forest. The experience is like a “spa day” straight out of nature’s handbook. Fed by volcanic activity beneath the earth’s surface, these natural hot springs offer a unique and revitalizing experience.
Tizate River:
Prepare to be amazed by the natural beauty of the Tizate River. Its banks are lined with lush green trees, wildlife, and diverse flora and fauna. Enjoy its tranquility from above the river as you cross the suspension bridge, and also as you soak in the thermal waters. If you’d like a massage to completely relax your mind and body, take note: the Rincon Spa is located overlooking the Tizate River. Don’t miss the opportunity to indulge in an exceptional treat surrounded by nature!
