What you can expect

Explore the beauty of Rio Celeste Waterfall and Tenorio Volcano National Park on a guided tour. See the unique turquoise blue color of the waterfall, the result of volcanic minerals reacting in the water at a point called Los Teñideros, where two rivers meet.

Unlike any other spot in Costa Rica, Rio Celeste Waterfall is renowned for its unique turquoise blue color, the result of volcanic minerals reacting in the water at a point called Los Teñideros, where two rivers meet. This enchanting blue waterfall, framed by lush rainforest, creates a surreal atmosphere that feels almost like a fantasy landscape.

Tenorio Volcano National Park offers much more than the waterfall. Its trails wind through primary and secondary rainforests, bringing you close to diverse wildlife, from toucans to howler monkeys. Highlights include hot springs, bubbling volcanic mud pools, and panoramic viewpoints of the surrounding mountains.

A guided tour enhances the experience by explaining the science behind the river’s color, pointing out hidden wildlife, and navigating the trail, which can be challenging due to mud or elevation changes. Booking a tour ensures a safe, educational journey, allowing you to make the most of this breathtaking and ecologically rich park while learning about its volcanic activity, conservation efforts, and local ecosystems.
