Chucaras Hot Springs, in the Orosí valley, Cartago province, offers iron-rich water in both an indoor bath and a rotenburo-style outdoor bath. Sauna and massage round out this thermal stop in central Costa Rica.

Insider tip — Chucaras Hot Springs are natural iron-rich springs in the Orosí valley (Cartago). The rust-orange, iron-rich waters emerge in a wooded tropical setting, a few kilometers from Tapantí-Macizo de la Muerte National Park. A semi-wild natural site, less developed than the large balnearios — for lovers of authentic nature bathing.
