More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Steam rises in bands above a ring of stone as you step from tropical shade into the heat—Baldi’s 25 thermal pools feel like a chain of warm rooms carved into the rainforest. From several terraces the Arenal Volcano looms across the valley, its shape a constant horizon that frames every soak; birds punctuate the silence and the waterfalls that feed the pools keep time with slow, steady splashes.
