We went to this semi resort style hotel to swim in the hot springs last Jueves or Thursday. Adam met me at the bus station when I was done with classes with bathing suits and we immediately hopped another bus towards Aquas Zarcas.
Termales del Bosque is only about 5k outside of the city limits so it didn't take long to get there at all. Unfortunately, our arrival coincided with that of about 50 students from the University of Florida. This was pretty depressing because not only did we have to wait forever to pay our entrance fee, but we also knew that the pools would be packed. We got a ride the half mile to and from the springs in and walked the forest trail there and back. It was really neat on the way back in the dark and the whole place is pretty magical (even with drunk college kids) after dark.
The pools line a river and are varying temperatures. You can also go in the river to cool down, although Adam was pretty insistent that I was going to get bitten by a poisonous snake. The night culminated with me dropping my locker lock through he cracks of the deck and trying to explain what happened to the assistant bartender in spanish - roughly translating too "I'm sorry, the lock, it fell me under the floor near the locker number 28."
