Jardines Termales Gaia is located in Paraiso, Cartago Province, Costa Rica. The sulfurous and bicarbonate thermal water, at 41°C, feeds an indoor bath and a rotenburo-style outdoor bath, along with a sauna and massage services.
Insider tip — Jardines Termales Gaia is located in the Central Valley highlands east of San Jose, near the Irazu-Turrialba volcanic complex whose hydrothermal activity feeds Costa Rica's thermal springs. At around 1300 m the surrounding gardens are planted with tropical flowers that thrive in the humid volcanic soil, giving the resort a botanical-garden quality. The sulfurous waters flow through landscaped pools with mountain views; midweek visits offer a peaceful alternative to the busy La Fortuna circuit in the north.
