Baldi Hot Springs

The plan was to go to Baldi Hot Springs today, but first we needed to visit La Fortuna.

The church on the square is unlike others we have seen.

Of course we did make it to the hot springs. The water that Deb is sitting in is about 109˚ F, but the little pool behind her is 68˚ F.

There are 25 pools. The higher you go, the higher the temperature.

Many flow directly into the one below.

Paths meander here and there.

We sat right near this sculpture and never noticed where her hands were until we looked at the picture.

The two upper pools are quite shallow, with tiled lounges underwater.

The highest pool of all is also the hottest.Notice the steam coming off of the waterfall. Deb's favourite spot was lying on the rocks under the falls. I had to keep ducking under the cold shower just off to the side.

Eventually we left the hot springs and returned to our room to freshen up. At seven we came back for a buffet dinner which was part of the package.
