With naturally-formed pools and waterfalls spread around the volcano, this is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/costaricajourneys.com\/\">top destinations in the country<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re around the area and looking for a perfect way to wrap up your day or simply want to feel the warm waters calm your every muscle, the <strong>Tabacon Hot Springs<\/strong> should be the right place for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Arenal Area<\/p>\n<p>Tabacon Hot Springs<\/strong> isn&#8217;t the only sight flocked my both foreigners and tourists in the area. The Arenal Volcano National Park is a place of outdoor activities, wildlife refuges, hiking trails and the like apart from its center of attraction, the Arenal Volcano.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Town of Tabacon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before it became a top attraction for visitors the world over, Tabacon used to be a small village situated at the bottom of the Arenal Peak. Before the tragic eruption of the Arenal Volcano in the year 1968, the people who used to live there only thought it was just a mountain which will remain silent for all the years to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Marriage of Two Worlds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most beautiful thing about the <strong>Tabacon Hot Springs<\/strong> is that it is home to the most magnificent, Nature-made springs, pools and waterfalls of varying temperatures. Preserving its natural feat, the Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort is one of the world&#8217;s most luxurious and comfortable resort. Although man-made and highly commercialized, this world-renowned resort perfectly blended itself with the all-natural warm waters of the Arenal Volcano.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Springs of Tabacon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a total of five springs that have naturally formed in the vicinity, all varying in temperatures. Two of these are the warmest while the other three are just right enough if you feel like balancing your hot soak with a colder one. The temperature of the <strong>Tabacon Hot Springs<\/strong> range from 25 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n<p>A fascinating fact about these waters is that they&#8217;re made of 97% rain water and 3% magma-based, as these waters are pushed down by the rain and pushed back up because of volcanic activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Health Benefits of Tabacon Hot Springs<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>Minerals from hot springs are perfect for cosmetology. As the underground waters flow through the magma, the springs absorb the minerals.<\/p>\n<p>The water temperature is the primary cause of dilating the skin which entails better oxygen flow through the body. Because of this process, tissues are able to heal and the muscles calm and relax.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Tabacon Hot Springs<\/strong>, not only do tourists get to enjoy the warm, relaxing waters of Tabacon, their bodies also benefit out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Although it may be quite of a pricey visit going to <strong>Tabacon Hot Springs<\/strong>, it guarantees a world-class thermal and peaceful vacation with the warm waters and natural environment surrounding you. It may not be your first time basking in hot springs but with <strong>Tabacon Hot Spring, <\/strong>you might just forget all your other first-time experiences.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"675\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<strong>Getting to Tabacon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Tabacon Hot Springs\u00a0is   located in the middle of the rainforest inside the area of the Arenal Volcano   National Park.
