Explore the Hidden Gem of Tenorio Volcano National Park

Marvel at the Rio Celeste Waterfall

The highlight of the hike is the Rio Celeste Waterfall, a natural wonder that’s as mesmerizing as it is unique. The striking light-blue hue of the water is a phenomenon created by the merging of two mineral-rich streams. Standing before this stunning cascade is a moment of pure awe. Along the way, you’ll also encounter other fascinating features, including bubbling hot springs (swimming is prohibited to preserve their natural state) and fumaroles that release volcanic gases at temperatures of up to 1500°F. At the river’s base, the bubbling spouts give the illusion of boiling water—a sight that’s as fascinating as it is surreal.
