When most travelers see rain in the forecast, they begin searching for alternatives to a beach day. At Rincon Thermals & Adventures, we believe the opposite.

Rain doesn’t ruin your vacation, it can create some of the most memorable experiences in Costa Rica.

Rincon Thermals During the Rainy Season

Nestled near Rincón de la Vieja National Park, Rincon Thermals is Guanacaste’s largest thermal hot springs and cold river pools experience and the closest thermal destination to the region’s leading beach resorts. During the rainy season, the entire property comes alive. The forests become greener, waterfalls flow stronger, wildlife becomes more active, and the volcanic hot spring waters create an unforgettable contrast with the cool tropical rain.

A Unique Costa Rican Hot Springs Experience
There is something magical about soaking in naturally heated volcanic mineral waters while gentle rain falls around you. The experience is relaxing, rejuvenating, and uniquely Costa Rican.

More Than Thermal Pools
Guests can spend the day exploring over 20 thermal pools, enjoying volcanic mud treatments, discovering scenic trails, and experiencing authentic cultural traditions including coffee tasting, sugar cane demonstrations, local baked goods, and meeting Carmelo, our beloved ox.
