Activities: This little stop is great on the last day because you can stay a long time, or a short time if you need to get on the road. A little secret in La Fortuna (though, it’s becoming more known these days) is a little spot in the river with hot springs. There is no entrance fee, however, the parking attendants will except to be paid for watching your car. This is not usually expensive (around $5) and provides peace of mind! Find these free hot springs just beyond the Tabacón resort. Just drive past and eventually you will see guys out trying to get you to park in their spots right off the road. That’s the place!
