About this activity

Discover the bright blue water of Rio Celeste, one of the most beautiful places in Costa Rica.

We hike through the rainforest of Tenorio Volcano National Park to the Rio Celeste waterfall. The river is blue because of natural minerals from the volcano. On the trail, you will hear the sounds of the forest and see many plants and animals.

Next, we visit a wildlife sanctuary in Bijagua. Here you can see sloths, frogs, toucans and other animals in their natural home. Your guide will help you find them and explain how they live.

Then we visit Llanos de Cortés, a large waterfall where you can swim and relax.

You will enjoy lunch with typical Costa Rican food. Your guide will also take photos of you during the day.

This tour is good for nature lovers, families and people who like photography. The walking level is moderate.
