Descubre aguas humeantes escondidas en la selva tica, donde un campesino local tropezó con el paraíso termal que cura el alma.
Bosque Hot Springs is open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. To get there, we recommend using Waze or Google Maps and searching for 'Bosque Hot Springs, Quesada, Costa Rica.' If you are coming by public transportation, you can take a bus to Quesada and then a taxi from there to the hot springs. You can check their official website or call +506 2475-7000 for more details.
Admission prices vary depending on age and whether you are a Costa Rican resident or an international visitor. In general, adults pay around USD 25 and children have a reduced rate. It is recommended to check the rates section on their website, as they sometimes offer promotions or group discounts. You can also call the venue directly to ask about current offers.
To fully enjoy all the pools, treatments, and green areas, we suggest planning at least half a day, around 4 to 6 hours. Many visitors even choose to spend the whole day, also taking advantage of the restaurant services and additional relaxation options available. If you want a full day of relaxation, you might even consider the lodging option.
The hot springs in the Quesada region have long been known for their mineral properties and healing benefits, valued by local communities. Bosque Hot Springs seeks to maintain that connection with nature and offer a wellness space, blending the tradition of healing waters with modern facilities. Although it does not have a specific ancient history, its location in a volcanic area gives it a fascinating geological origin.
The best time to visit is during the dry season, from December to April, when the weather is more stable and sunny, although the place is beautiful all year round. During the day, early mornings or late afternoons are ideal to avoid crowds and enjoy a quieter atmosphere. Visiting at sunset also offers a magical experience with the lights and nighttime ambiance.
Bosque Hot Springs makes an effort to be inclusive, but given its location and the nature of the terrain, some areas may present challenges. There are ramps in the main areas, but it is advisable to contact them directly at +506 2475-7000 before your visit to learn the exact details about the accessibility of the pools and trails, and to ensure a comfortable experience for everyone.
Quesada and its surroundings offer several options. You can visit Poás Volcano National Park (advance reservation required), Lake Hule, or enjoy waterfalls and hanging bridges in other nearby ecological parks. The area is ideal for nature and adventure lovers. You can also explore downtown Quesada, with its local market and church.
Of course! Bring your swimsuit, towel, sunscreen (biodegradable if possible), insect repellent, and a change of clothes. I recommend renting a locker for your belongings. Do not forget to stay hydrated and explore all the pools, each with a different temperature. Consider booking spa treatments in advance if you are interested. And most importantly, switch off and relax!
