The 6km trail is alive with a vibrant ecosystem and there is plenty of wildlife and plants to be seen along the way.  Feel the strength of the fresh wind channeled through the canyon at Buenos Aires Waterfall. See continuously running fresh water at Danta Pool and Waterfall, a natural magnet for wildlife which can often be seen drinking and bathing here. Walk to Aguilar Pool and Waterfall, rich in silicon which covers the river stones in a smooth white layer. The sun’s reflection produces a magical fluorescent blue color that is hard to resist.  Explore the magnificent Jicara Pool and Waterfall, named after a very special tree - Jicaro de Danto. This unique tree is endemic to the Guanacaste and Tilaran mountain ranges and its fruit which looks like giant pickles is loved by tapirs and bats. Take a dip in the warm, curative volcanic waters of Pilon Thermal Pool. These waters are widely known for their healing and nourishing properties for the skin and hair. If weather permits, your guide can take you to the canopy of the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, where on a clear day you can see the Lake of Nicaragua and the majestic Rincón de la Vieja Volcano. Finish your rainforest experience with lunch. Select from a menu offering vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and omnivorous options. Enjoy delicious Costa Rican coffee afterward along with locally made sweets.

Embark on a relaxing trip to the thermal pools of the Sensoria Land of Senses and Magical Rainforest in Alajuela Province. Walk through the lush rainforest and experience the healing waters of a cold and warm spring. Lunch, entry fees, and a bilingual tour guide are included in your trip. Amongst the greenery of the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, arrive at Sensoria, known as the Land of Senses and Magical Rainforest. Meet your guide and enjoy a welcome drink before grabbing a walking stick and venturing into the forest. Your entry ticket not only includes access to the natural thermal pools, but also to the Buenos Aires Waterfall, Aguilar Waterfall, and the observation platform, so you’ll have plenty to see as you spend time in Sensoria.   First, make your way to a picturesque spot named after a very special tree, the Jícaro Danto (Parmentiera varelii). This unique tree is endemic to the Guanacaste and Tilarán mountain ranges, meaning it cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Then, take a dip in warm, curative volcanic waters. Float away with the canopy above and refresh your spirit as you admire the surrounding forest. Feel the warmth of the nourishing hypothermal waters and find shelter beneath a hanging ranch or massage your body with a rainforest shower. Experience a unique natural pool with marble floors that gathers healing waters from two different springs: one cold and one warm. Before the end of your trip, enjoy lunch (choice of chicken wrap, vegetarian wrap, gluten-free salad, or rice with chicken).

One of the most exciting ways to experience the Blue River, or Rio Azul, is with a rubber inner tube. Wind your way around bends and through white water adrenalin-pumping chutes before reaching the calmer waters of the river. This full-day adventure is fun for any adult looking for excitement. Rocks tower out of the water and you’ll bump into them, but kept safe by your inflated rubber tube. You’ll be sent spinning forward or backward and need to hold on tight so you don’t fall out of the tube! The lush rainforest forms a scenic background, as you pass through canyons and thick jungle. In fact, the sound of the water rushing past is quiet compared to the resident howler monkeys, insects, and birds. Later you’ll spend some time at the Blue River Resort and Hot Springs, enjoying lunch, its 4 natural mineral “green” hot springs pools, mud baths, botanical gardens, butterfly farm, and fresh water pool with bullet waterslide.
