Rio Negro Hot Springs

Embark on a rejuvenating guided tour and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Costa Rica by visiting the stunning Rio Negro Hot Springs and Mud baths, as well as the awe-inspiring Oropendola Waterfall.

Located in the heart of the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, the Rio Negro Hot Springs are a true oasis of serenity. Surrounded by a dense and lush dry tropical forest, this beautiful and peaceful place boasts ten pools built on the riverbank. The thermal waters enriched with minerals naturally heat in the depths of the volcano, filling these pools. Two suspension bridges provide access to these pools on both banks of the river.

At the Rio Negro hot springs, you can indulge in a spa-like treatment by covering your entire body with warm volcanic mud. Once the mud dries, you can wash it off in the calm river before returning to the thermal pools for a soothing and relaxing experience. The hot springs entrance has changing rooms, bathrooms, and lockers for your convenience.

The La Oropendola Waterfall is the perfect destination for those who seek a refreshing dip in a tranquil and natural setting. A short walk along a path of varied terrain will lead you to the river, where you can walk a small distance inside the river itself until you reach the waterfall. Standing at an impressive 25 meters, the La Oropendola waterfall cascades into a bubbling turquoise pool in the exuberant canyon of the Rio Blanco, creating a breathtaking tropical oasis that will leave you in awe.

In conclusion, a visit to the Rio Negro Hot Springs and Mud baths, as well as the Oropendola Waterfall, is an unforgettable experience that allows you to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Costa Rica.
