Rio Celeste National Park

Imagine stepping into a world where nature defies logic—where water glows an impossible shade of turquoise blue, winding through a lush jungle straight out of a dream. This isn’t Photoshop, and it isn’t a fantasy Rio Celeste, one of Costa Rica’s most jaw-dropping hidden treasures.

From the moment we leave your hotel, you’ll feel the anticipation build. As we venture deep into Tenorio Volcano National Park, the air shifts—fresh, crisp, alive with the hum of tropical birds and the rustling of giant jungle leaves. And then comes the moment you’ll never forget—your first glimpse of the Rio Celeste Waterfall. The water cascades down like liquid sapphire, its color so surreal that legends say it was painted by the gods.

But this adventure is about more than just beauty, it’s about experiencing the magic up close. You’ll follow our expert guide through twisting rainforest trails, discovering secret spots like Laguna Azul, where the river pools into a surreal blue lagoon, and Los Teñideros, the place where two ordinary streams meet and transform into the otherworldly blue color that gives Rio Celeste its name.

And just when you think it can’t get better, we’ll take a break to savor authentic Costa Rican flavors—a well-earned meal in the heart of nature, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.

We are not allowed to swim in the park, bring your bathing suit for a dip into the public springs.
