Tabacon is the name of what might very well be Costa Rica's top destination. Tabacon Resort Hot Springs and Spa is located near the base of the active Arenal Volcano. These thermal springs, some of which are hotter than others, are warmed from the volcanoes. The minerals that are in its healing waters also vary from pool to pool.

Tabacon, Costa Rica is something that is near or at the top of the list of every visitor to Costa Rica. The Tabacon Resort provides accommodations for travelers while they visit this beautiful place. Its lush setting, with manicured gardens and the relaxing Iskandria Spa, is different from setting you will experience on other kinds of Costa Rica tours. Its location, north of its most active crater, is the direction in which the lava flows. Sitting in a hot spring and watching the red glow of the volcano light up the deep blue of the rainforest dusk is a once in a lifetime experience you will want to relive again and again.

The Juan Santamaria International Airport is within easy reach of San Jose; buses being only 60 cents or a $15-20 dollar cab ride to make the 20 minutes journey to the capitol of Costa Rica. The bus stops is directly outside of the airports main terminal, although if you have a lot of luggage a taxi might be a better option.

On the way to the city from the San Jose airport you will pass plantations, which grow some of the finest coffees in the world. The perpetual sunny, spring-like climate is the perfect weather in which to grow coffee. San Jose, Costa Rica is the source of the pulse of this, Central America's most cosmopolitan capitol. As you enter the city, you will feel its faster pace, a far cry from the relaxed vistas of the verdant farmland you passed on your way from the San Jose airport.
