Thermal water behind the beach

Termales takes its name from the surrounding hot springs. The thermal water contains sulphur. A stream also brings cool water from the forest towards the coast.

Visiting the springs brings a different focus to your surf stay. You can include it as a separate excursion. I arrange access and accompaniment with local providers.

A base between village and sea

The beaches of Termales belong to the surfing areas around Nuquí. Your particular coastal stretch matters when choosing a base. Your accommodation's location determines the route to your lessons.

I adapt your surf days to your experience. Free hours can include village walks and time along the shore. The hot springs add variety without requiring another coastal base.

Coastal paths towards Guachalito

Guachalito and Termales share a landscape of beaches and dense coastal forest. Beach walks are among the region's described activities. Their operation also depends on the water level.

I plan your route with local accompaniment and account for the tides. Other coastal stretches may require a boat journey. Your selected accommodation determines the transport arrangements.

Termales within your Nuquí journey

Nuquí is the gateway to several coastal settlements in the Gulf of Tribugá. Termales provides a base outside the main town. Flight arrival and the onward journey are therefore coordinated separately.

Pico de Loro is another regional surfing option for experienced surfers. Visiting requires separate arrangements with local specialists. For beginners, I plan lessons on an appropriate beach section.

I plan your time in Termales around surf lessons, coastal walks and the hot springs.
