Arenal Volcano National Park, Province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica

We spent a night here, relaxing in the thermal waters of a volcano! These are the pools that are naturally at temperatures of up to 115 degrees. First we had a fantastic buffet at the spa, with really creative food presentations! We also found a shop across the road that sold large wooden figures-very unique. The actual hot springs were nice, but we definitely started off with the hottest one unknowingly and it was fine if you just sat, but moving around was almost unbearable! I imagine doing 1 lap around those pools would have probably been equal to about 20 laps in a regular cold pool in burning calories! And it opened up the pores really nicely.
