On the main peninsula road before Santa Elena around 7 km there's a turn off to Baņos San Vicente where there are beautiful and health recuperating hot thermal and mud baths areas, run by the Ministerio de Turismo, but get there early before overcrowding occurs open 06:00-18:00, US$1. If you wish to stay overnight there is accommodation at Florida hotel (next to the baths), which is basic but OK.
