1Rio Celeste
Discover Rio Celeste, where the water takes on an amazing turquoise color thanks to a unique chemical phenomenon. We start with the imposing 30-meter high Waterfall of Río Celeste, whose vibrant blue makes it the biggest attraction of the tour. From a strategic viewpoint, you can capture spectacular photos. We will visit the Blue Lagoon, a hypnotic lagoon that, according to indigenous legends, was the “Lagoon of the Gods”. Up to 5 meters deep, it is one of the most iconic postcards in the park. On the way, we will see the boils, fissures in the earth where volcanic gases emerge, reflecting the geothermal energy of the place. The tour culminates in the Tinyard, where the river acquires its distinctive turquoise hue in a unique natural phenomenon. An ideal experience to explore one of Costa Rica’s most stunning destinations, surrounded by lush nature and unforgettable scenery.
