Planning a soak in Costa Rica

Check the official status link on each spring's page before you go. Closures for fire, snow, road work and water quality are common and we don't track them live.
Many wild springs have no fee, no lifeguard and no facilities. "Not recorded" means we don't know, not that a spring is free or open.
Follow posted rules on site, including any clothing policy. We only show a clothing policy where an official page states one.
