This family's experience:

Activities: If you’d like a stop on the way, I’d suggest stopping in Tenorio Volcano National Park. This is home to the famous Río Celeste waterfall and river. The Río Celeste has a stretch where it is a beautiful, turquoise blue color all due to certain minerals that collect in the water. Río Celeste is a popular stop, though getting to it will require a hike of just under 4 miles total. It’s not too tough though, so older kids or young experienced hikers could do the mileage
