Steam rises off a blackened slope as the guide points toward the fumaroles — sulfur-streaked rocks hissing like a pot left on a low flame. Moments later the river opens, broad and placid, while the raft glides under low-hanging trees where toucans and kingfishers flicker. This full-day trip threads the volcanic highlands of Miravalles with the calm Corobici River for a three-part encounter: geothermal features, mineral-rich mud baths, and a gentle river float.

Leave jewelry at the hotel
Sulfur and mineral-rich mud can tarnish metals and stain; keep valuables stored safely during mud baths and hot spring dips.

Soak times should be limited—alternate hot springs with water and shade to avoid overheating, especially in mid-day sun.

Dries fast after the river float and is comfortable for hot-spring changes.
Closed-toe water shoes
Protects feet on slippery rocks and during river boarding.
