Born of the water
A thermal refuge in the primary forest of northern Costa Rica, since 1993.
The forest drew the blueprint
A mineral thermal river runs here, heated by the earth itself. In 1993 the idea was simple and remains intact: bring that water to the pools without taking away the forest.
Architecture in the mist
The colonial galleries were raised around the water, not the other way round. Three decades later, the steam still rises every morning among the same trees.
The forest still stands
The heat of our waters is geothermal: born of the earth, not a boiler. And the forest that surrounded the resort in 1993 is the same one that surrounds it today, cared for by San Carlos hands.
Come see the origin
In the Arenal region, two and a half hours from San José airport.
Our story
Three decades on a mineral river in San Carlos.
El Tucano is a Costa Rican resort with three decades of history on a thermal mineral river in San Carlos.
Rooted in the region
We opened in 1993 in San Carlos — a Costa Rican resort, operated locally ever since.
Nature, first
The property is bordered by a live mineral river and primary forest. We protect that forest, not just landscape it.
Hospitality is earned
A team from the region that welcomes guests by name, not by room number.
Real thermal water
Pools fed by natural volcanic springs — not heated tanks. The mineral load is what your skin actually feels.
