A Hike to the Heavenly Waters of Rio Celeste

Your adventure kicks off with a guided hike through the tropical rainforest of Tenorio Volcano National Park, a region teeming with vibrant flora and remarkable wildlife. Keep an eye out for toucans, monkeys, and colorful frogs as you navigate well-maintained trails shaded by towering trees. The highlight of this hike is reaching the iconic Rio Celeste Waterfall, a natural marvel that leaves visitors speechless.

The waterfall’s radiant blue waters seem almost otherworldly—a phenomenon caused by a unique chemical reaction between volcanic minerals. Your guide will explain the fascinating science behind this striking hue, deepening your appreciation of this magical place. Pause at the lookout to take in the breathtaking beauty, where the thunderous sound of the cascade harmonizes with the serene atmosphere of the jungle.

Tubing Through a Jungle Paradise

After soaking in the awe of the waterfall, it’s time for an exhilarating yet peaceful experience—tubing down the Rio Celeste. Drift along the river’s gentle currents, enveloped by the lush, green rainforest. The surrounding jungle is alive with sights and sounds, from chattering birds to rustling leaves. This section of the tour offers the perfect blend of excitement and tranquility, as the river’s calm stretches invite peaceful reflection while the occasional splash adds a sense of playful adventure.

The Rio Celeste is renowned not only for its vivid blue waters but also for its biodiversity. As you float along, you might glimpse iguanas lounging on riverbanks, fish darting beneath the surface, or even a curious monkey swinging through the trees above. This intimate interaction with nature makes for an unforgettable connection to the heart of Costa Rica.
