GBI Costa Rica Unveils UpPura Wellness: The Healing Power of Pura Pora’s Hot Springs

Rediscovering the Ancient Healing Waters of Pura Pora

Cartago, Costa Rica – Deep in the lush landscapes of Costa Rica, a natural wellness sanctuary is being brought back to life. Once known as the country’s “Fountain of Youth,” the mineral-rich hot springs of Pura Pora are now at the heart of a transformative wellness project led by GBI Costa Rica.

For centuries, people have sought out thermal waters for their therapeutic benefits, and Pura Pora was once one of the most revered healing retreats in Latin America. After decades of being forgotten, GBI Costa Rica is restoring this legendary destination while integrating modern hydrotherapy, holistic treatments, and sustainable luxury.

“Pura Pora is not just a wellness retreat—it’s a sanctuary where nature and innovation work together to promote healing,” says Chen Noiman, co-founder of GBI Costa Rica. “We are bringing the science of hydrotherapy into a new era of sustainable, luxury wellness.”

Why Are Hot Springs Like Pura Pora So Healing?

The mineral-rich waters of Pura Pora are known to have extraordinary health benefits, making it one of Costa Rica’s most valuable natural assets. When travelers immerse themselves in these hot springs, they experience a range of therapeutic effects, including:

🔥 Pain Relief – The warmth of the water soothes muscles and joints, reducing inflammation and alleviating pain caused by conditions like arthritis.
💆 Stress Reduction – The high concentration of magnesium and lithium in the water promotes relaxation and helps reduce anxiety and stress levels.
💧 Detoxification – The natural minerals detoxify the body by improving circulation and flushing out toxins.
🩹 Skin Rejuvenation – Sulfur and silica in the water help improve skin health, treating conditions such as eczema and acne.
🫁 Respiratory Benefits – Steam inhalation from the thermal waters opens airways and clears congestion, making it beneficial for respiratory health.

As GBI Costa Rica revitalizes Pura Pora, it is enhancing these natural properties with scientifically backed wellness programs that will elevate the visitor experience.
