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.
