Description

Discover the hidden thermal river in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest. Relax in the warm waters of the river, which flows at over 100 degrees, and enjoy the soothing effects of the water. Journey to the thermal river, which is cradled by lush jungle. Hear stories of the ancient spirits that guard and protect the mystical river and the volcano that brings life to the forest. For as long as anyone can remember, local people have come to this wonderful place to enjoy the warmth of the river’s waters, to relax and reconnect with Mother Nature, and to bond with family and friends. Regular visitors know every bend in the river, every eddy, and every secret cove where the water flows a little warmer. The river is said to have restorative properties, capable of relieving aches and pains and soothing weary souls. For years, the locals kept this treasure to themselves. However, in recent times, word of the river’s magic has spread, attracting adventurers and explorers from all corners of the world, who, seduced by stories of its beauty and healing powers, have come in search of the hot springs. The township closest to the thermal river is called La Fortuna, which translates to the fortune. And so, the river remains a place of wonder for the Fortuna locals, who have experienced the wonder for generations, and now, also to the fortunate voyagers that have come from afar, coaxed by tales, new and old. As the sun sets over the jungle’s dense canopy, there is a sense of peace and harmony that settles over this mystical place. It is a sense that assures all present that the flattering tales of magical waters were nothing short of truth, as far as words can convey.
