Rio Celeste Waterfall

Rio Celeste Waterfall is a breathtaking natural wonder located in the Tenorio Volcano National Park. The river's vibrant turquoise hue is a result of the convergence of two rivers, Quebrada Agria and Rio Buena Vista, which creates a unique mineral composition that gives the water its distinctive color. According to local legend, the river got its stunning color when God dipped his brush in the river as he was painting the sky. The park offers a 3.7-mile hiking trail that takes visitors through the lush rainforest, where they can spot various wildlife and enjoy the scenic views. The trail leads to the Rio Celeste Waterfall, which plunges 98 feet into a pool of bright blue water surrounded by dense tropical forest. Visitors can also explore other attractions within the park, such as Laguna Azul, a beautiful blue lagoon, and Los Borbollones, a spot where sulfuric gases from the volcano bubble up through the water. The park is a great place for families to visit, with its well-maintained trails and guided tours available. However, swimming is not allowed in the river within the park
