Fortuna Expeditions Guide's Perspective

Tabacón is one of the most extraordinary places I have had the privilege of sharing with our visitors. There is something truly special about soaking in a naturally heated volcanic river, with steam rising through the trees and Arenal Volcano towering in the background. I love guiding guests through the different pools, each with its own temperature and character, and watching them discover their favorite spot. Whether it is the warmth of the thermal river at sunset or a quiet moment in the Shangri-La Gardens, Tabacón always leaves a lasting impression. It is not just relaxation — it is a genuine connection with the volcanic energy of Costa Rica.
