Not AvailableParadise Hot Springs is located in La Fortuna, part of the Northern Lowlands region of Costa Rica. The resort provides access to pools of geothermal water, which are heated and mineralized by the activity of Arenal Volcano.
Origin and Formation The soothing waters of Paradise Hot Springs are naturally heated by the majestic Arenal Volcano. These pure, chemical-free waters originate from telluric processes, where rainfall filters deep into the earth, collecting essential minerals and heating as it encounters the earth’s geothermal energy. This "young water" emerges enriched, creating a rejuvenating and restorative experience.
Mineral Composition Paradise’s thermal waters are rich in a blend of approximately 12 minerals, including sodium chloride, magnesium, sulfates, calcium, and bicarbonates. According to an analysis by Gala Termal, these waters are classified as hyperthermal, mildly mineralized, and rich in therapeutic properties. Each mineral contributes uniquely to wellness, from soothing muscles to promoting relaxation.
