Overview

Discover one of Costa Rica’s most breathtaking natural wonders on this unforgettable Rio Celeste tour. Nestled on the slopes of the Tenorio Volcano, the Celeste River is famous for its vibrant turquoise color—a phenomenon created naturally at a unique point called Los Teñideros (The Dyeing Pot), where two mineral-rich streams merge.

Your adventure begins with a 7 km (4.3 mi) guided rainforest hike through Tenorio Volcano National Park, offering you a chance to connect deeply with nature. Along the way, you’ll encounter several iconic stops: the Rio Celeste waterfall, a powerful cascade of blue plunging into a jungle pool; the peaceful Blue Lagoon, perfect for scenic photos; and a panoramic volcano viewpoint where you can take in the lush surrounding hills.

As you follow the trail alongside the river, you’ll also discover bubbling hot springs and naturally heated waters—evidence of the volcanic energy below the surface. The path is surrounded by dense rainforest, where you may spot tropical birds, butterflies, and other wildlife unique to this region.

The tour concludes with a well-deserved, traditional Costa Rican lunch, providing the perfect ending to your adventure in one of the country’s most incredible eco-tourism destinations.

Whether you’re a nature lover, a hiking enthusiast, or simply in search of the most stunning spots in Costa Rica, the Celeste River hike is an experience you won’t forget.
