El Tucano Resort is set in the rainforest-clad volcanic lowlands near Ciudad Quesada in the San Carlos district of Alajuela Province, Costa Rica, where bicarbonate and sulphated thermal waters sourced from the geothermal activity of the Arenal-Tenorio volcanic zone flow through a tropical landscape of extraordinary biodiversity. The bicarbonate-sulphate mineral composition of the resort's thermal pools carries properties valued for musculoskeletal relief, respiratory wellness, and the deep relaxation associated with immersion in naturally warm volcanic water, enhanced here by the ambient sounds of tropical forest surrounding the outdoor bathing areas. Adjacent to protected rainforest zones and positioned at the gateway to Arenal Volcano National Park, El Tucano Resort integrates geothermal bathing with the ecotourism philosophy central to Costa Rica's identity as a global leader in nature-based sustainable tourism.
