Do you need to wear special chemical free sunscreen at the mineral springs?

Hi Laura Roberts!
The hot spring properties don’t require visitors to wear a special chemical-free sunscreen, but it’s always a good idea (for your own personal health) to consider chemical-free alternatives. 🙂
Pura vida!

Hi Rachel!
There are lots of ways you can travel between Liberia and La Fortuna, including via shared shuttle service, private transfer service, taxi, bus, or city-to-city transportation-inclusive tours. These modes of transportation are documented in our related blog post: Costa Rica Transportation: 12 Ways To Get Around Costa Rica.
If you decide to drive yourself, don’t miss our related blog post, Driving To La Fortuna/Arenal: Photos, Road Conditions, Routes, Drive Times, And More!, which provides information about the highways and roads you’ll take during the journey.
Pura vida! 🙂

Wondering if we can go skinny dipping at Baldi hot springs or Tabacon hot spring? Or maybe other places?

Hi Joe E Kingsley!
Both the Baldi Hot Springs and the Tabacon Hot Springs (as well as all other hot spring properties we’re familiar with in La Fortuna and elsewhere in Costa Rica) require a bathing suit to be worn at all times.
Pura vida! 🙂

Thank you so much for the article !! It was just what I was looking for. I’m becoming empty nested next month and would like your suggestion to a safe area for a single female (preferably withIn walking distance of outdoor markets) where I could daily walk and enjoy a hot spring and unwind and reflect ( and maybe stay for 90 days at a time ) thx

Hi Kim!
If you’re interested in the hot springs, you’ll want to stick to the La Fortuna area. (Most other destinations in Costa Rica that have hot springs either don’t have a developed center that you can walk around or else aren’t particularly safe for a solo female traveler.)
If you aren’t limited to a destination with hot springs, though, be sure to check out the Costa Rica Destination Tool that’s available on our sister site, DIY Costa Rica. The tool filters roughly 66 destinations by nearly 150 criteria in less than 1 minute, so you can quickly and easily decide where you should go in Costa Rica according to your unique preferences, wants, and needs.
Pura vida! 🙂
