So, we will give you our best tips for a really successful winter get-away in <strong>Costa Rica<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elementonatural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/norte_blog-03.png\" alt=\"visit-costa-rica\" width=\"960\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elementonatural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/norte_blog-03.png 960w, https:\/\/www.elementonatural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/norte_blog-03-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/www.elementonatural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/norte_blog-03-768x336.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>#2: <\/strong>yes, you figured it out<strong>\u2026#1 is to actually travel\u00a0to Costa Rica!<\/strong> So, our second tip is to visit the<strong> hot springs of Arenal Volcano<\/strong>.\u00a0 There are several options of hot spring pools to visit in the area, from basic to fancy and all in between.\u00a0 In the end, if you are looking for relaxation, soaking in thermal waters heated to therapeutic temperatures by a volcano, is probably nature\u2019s more effective way to do it. You can think of it as Mother Earth\u2019s most famous Spa! And it works: spend an hour or two in the hot springs, sipping a drink or two, and you will know what we mean!<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3:<\/strong> in a related environment, you can also find near the volcanoes the sources of <strong>volcanic mud and clay<\/strong>. In fact, these have been used for centuries to help with all kinds of ailments. Clay and mud help clean impurities from the pores thanks to its antibacterial properties, and they have the ability to bind to those impurities in your skin and pull them out like a sponge.\u00a0 So, if you want to talk about rejuvenation, take one volcanic mud bath at the nearest Mother Earth\u2019s Spa. Just a word of caution: minimize the clothing and accessories you use when covering yourself in mud as they might catch a volcanic-like odor (sulfur, if you know what I mean).<\/p>\n<p>[rev_slider alias=&#8221;pura-vida-banner&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>#4:<\/strong> <em>have you noticed how people are usually hypnotized by the sight of water?<\/em> You can find people all over the world just staring at lakes, rivers, waterfalls\u2026<strong>and of course the ocean!<\/strong> Well, good news: our <strong>Pacific<\/strong> shore, especially in <strong>Guanacaste<\/strong>, offers a fantastic opportunity to witness the most impressive sunsets in the world. You don\u2019t need to find a luxurious hotel room with an ocean view from its balcony (although it is also recommended if you can); you just need to go to any beach, find a good spot, sit down and wait for it.\u00a0 We are sure the word \u2018breathtaking\u2019 will come to mind, or the certainty that you are witnessing God\u2019s creation in the most extraordinary way.\u00a0 So, with this scenario we know you will find your inner peace and your path to meditation\u2026or at least you will realize it would be such much easier if you had this sight every day!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elementonatural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/norte_blog-04.png\" alt=\"visit-costa-rica\" width=\"960\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elementonatural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/norte_blog-04.png 960w, https:\/\/www.elementonatural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/norte_blog-04-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/www.elementonatural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/norte_blog-04-768x336.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>#5:<\/strong> and talking about water, do go to a <strong>waterfall<\/strong>!

And if that wasn\u2019t good enough to clear your mind of all your troubles, go in and swim in the cold natural pond at the base of it. If the waterfall isn\u2019t too big or high, try to go directly under it and feel the massaging water on your back, just for a few seconds!
