Natural Hot Springs exist all over the world and are defined as sites where groundwater is discharged at a particular location. Out of all the places in the world, I was lucky enough to relax in a Costa Rican Hot Spring at the <\/span>Tabacon Resort<\/a> in Arenal.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amazing resort, located at the base of the Arenal Volcano, features five thermal pools for your lounging pleasure, along with several other scattered pools on the grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This eco-friendly Costa Rica Hot Spring resorts water flows naturally by gravity and ranges in temperature from 77 to 122 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relaxing in the springs is free if you are a guest at the hotel, otherwise it will cost you about 90 bucks for a day pass. It’s worth spending the $200 to stay the night in the hotel as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we checked in we immediately headed across the street to embark on this new adventure. We were greeted at the springs by a large pool with a swim-up bar, perfect place to start our experience. I ordered\u00a0one of those fruity “I have an umbrella” chick drinks that complemented the heat of the water I was waist-deep in. It would have been just as easy to spend the whole day right here, but that would not have gotten this item checked off my bucket list<\/a>. We venture through what seemed like a maze of bridges each one surrounded by streaming water or rain forest foliage, in other words wherever you turned it was\u00a0visually amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I at least dipped my toes in each one of the Costa Rica Hot Spring pools which ranged in temperature, from comfortably luke warm to “get me freakin’ out of here, I think I have third degree burns!” Don’t get me wrong, this girl loves a steamy hot tub, but at 122 degrees I couldn’t get beyond my big toe. I finally settled myself  in a mid-temped spring, sat back to take in the breathtaking view and watch the toucans fly overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
