Join us on an unforgettable journey to one of Costa Rica’s most incredible natural wonders—the Celeste River. Known for its magical blue waters that reflect the sky, this river is a true spectacle. Located on the slopes of the Tenorio Volcano, we’ll hike along a 7-kilometer (approximately 4.35 miles) trail that winds through lush forest. Along the way, we’ll visit the stunning Río Celeste Waterfall, the mesmerizing Blue Lagoon, and a viewpoint offering panoramic views of Tenorio Volcano and its surrounding hills.
The highlight of the tour is when two small rivers meet at “Los Teñideros,” where the river’s famous blue color is created right before your eyes. On the return, we’ll follow the same path along the river, continuing to admire the beauty of this magical place.
The adventure ends with a delicious lunch, giving you time to reflect on the beauty of the national park and its incredible celestial river.
