Combine Hot Springs & Spas In Costa Rica To Your Vacation Package |

The water issuing from a hot spring is heated by geothermal heat, i.e., heat from the Earth's interior. In general, the temperature of rocks within the earth increases with depth. The rate of temperature increase with depth is known as the geothermal gradient. If water percolates deeply enough into the crust, it will be heated as it comes into contact with hot rocks. The water from hot springs in non-volcanic areas is heated in this manner.

In active volcanic zones such as Yellowstone National Park, water may be heated by coming into contact with magma (molten rock). The high temperature gradient near magma may cause water to be heated enough that it boils or becomes superheated. If the water becomes so hot that it builds steam pressure and erupts in a jet above the surface of the Earth, it is called a geyser. If the water only reaches the surface in the form of steam, it is called a fumarole. If the water is mixed with mud and clay, it is called a mud pot.
Mud Baths are very popular and are supposed to have healing powers. We can't vouch for that but we can tell you that when you finish you will feel rejuvenated, refreshed, unusually clean and your skin is soft to the touch. Mud baths are a simple procedure. You go in the natural sauna over the bubbling pits, let you pores open, then apply the volcanic mud all over your body and let it dry. Afterwards you rinse off in a thermal water shower and go in the hot springs of your choice or sit under a thermal water waterfall and get a natural massage. Now the decisions get tougher. Do you want to get a massage, body wrap, brush scrub, facial, manicure, pedicure or maybe go for the full body treatment? It's up to you as we offer it all.
Privately escorted, non-private, drop offs and self drive is available through Bill Beard's.

Eco Thermales Hot Springs in Arenal Costa Rica is a sanctuary of nature and beauty that has been the life work of the Hidalgo family. The smallest of the Arenal Hot Springs, Eco thermales is geared toward privacy and relaxation and does not accept more than 100 visitors at a time. Visitors are invited to enjoy the beautiful environment as guests of the Hidalgo family not as walk in tourists. Bill Beard's naturalist guides have the key so don't worry. The 4 pools vary in temperature, the hottest is 105 & the coolest is 91 degrees F |

Hot springs are considered a natural expression of Earth’s inherent energy. Geologically, Arenal Volcano's hot springs are 97% rain-based and 3% magma-based. Rainwater enters the earth through fissures on the surface and is then heated by magma found in the earth’s core. Once heated, the waters rise to surface, taking with them minerals found in the earth’s rocky stratus. Thus, the resort’s waters are loaded with minerals. Hot springs provide many benefits from various chemical, physical and biological effects. The gardens are gorgeous. |
