Northern Plains

Celeste River Hike: Tenorio Volcano

General information

Overview

Mysterious and imposing, in the very bowels of the Tenorio Volcano, manifestations of hidden power transform the union of the Buena Vista and Roble rivers into a sky blue stream, giving birth to one of the most extraordinary phenomenons of nature: Light Blue River. Along the river we will find hot springs, bends of heavenly tranquility and a waterfall of singular beauty, all surrounded by varied flora and fauna. After the ride to the Tenorio Volcano National Park, the tour starts with a 7 km hike (approximately 4 hours) through the tropical rain forest, to reach Los Tenideros of the Celeste River which is the site where two streams of crystalline water, come together and form the heavenly color blue that gives the river its name. The walk along the trails, offers rich ecological wonders and a visit to the natural hot springs by the river, all while observing the attractions of Tenorio Volcano. We will continue our hike through the jungle and will get to see the spectacular Rio Celeste waterfall which color makes it one of a kind. Our final reward is an exquisite Costa Rican typical lunch at the end of our journey, and after that, the ride back to the hotels in La Fortuna.
