Rio Celeste Waterfall and Tenorio Volcano National Park is a combination of natural beauty, mystery, and biological diversity. 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.
Its trails wind through primary and secondary rainforests, bringing you close to diverse wildlife, from toucans to howler monkeys. 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.
