When planning to Costa Rica is pretty common to feel suggested or advertised by mostly touristic areas, like the hot spots of the country so you can miss the rural areas like the valley in between the Volcanoes Miravalles and Rincon de la Vieja, where you can also enjoy hotsprings, light blue color rivers hikes to active volcanoes and even real active craters on their mud boiling trails

This hot springs camping is right in the valley and there are several hikes and view points you can do by yourselves, even ask locals, on rural towns the locals are always genuinely kind and welling to share all their knowledge about its town, so you will always get great recommendations for local food, view points and even central grocery markets with local harvest products

Once there you will find big open green areas surrounded by trees where to park and set your camping right under a natural shade, proper facilities and a local food restaurant is available and if you organize properly for a hike near by once back to camp you got the hotsprings to relax as late as 9.00 pm for a perfect mix day of adventure and relaxation
