Balneario Victoria

Balneario Victoria in Costa Rica draws upon the extraordinary geothermal resources of one of Central America's most volcanically active countries, where the Cocos Plate's subduction beneath the Caribbean Plate drives the volcanic chain that created the Arenal, Rincón de la Vieja, Poás, and Irazú volcanoes whose ongoing geothermal activity produces natural thermal springs of considerable variety across the country's highland and lowland landscapes. Costa Rica's thermal spring tradition has developed rapidly alongside the country's eco-tourism industry, with volcanic hot springs now forming an important component of the nature and wellness tourism that brings visitors to experience both the active volcanic landscapes and the thermal waters they produce. Bathing at Balneario Victoria connects visitors to the extraordinary geological energy of a country where volcanic activity and tropical biodiversity combine to create one of the world's most dynamically compelling wellness and ecotourism environments.
