Discover the turquoise waters of one of the most beautiful places in Costa Rica with this hiking trip along the Celeste River in the Tenorio Volcano National Park.
Celeste River Hiking Trip
The tour begins with a pick-up at 7:30 am at your hotel, followed by a journey to the Tenorio Volcano National Park, located approximately one and a half hours from La Fortuna. The park features the summit elevation of 2600 feet.
On the slopes of the volcano, we will encounter the renowned Celeste River, distinguished by its intense blue hue. The river’s color is said to originate from a divine legend.
The hike covers a 4-mile route through dense forests leading to the Celeste Waterfall, ideal for photographs. Participants should bring a camera to capture this scenic spot.
The tour progresses to the Blue Lagoon, where the river forms a picturesque lagoon. Note that bathing is prohibited by national park regulations, but visitors can enjoy views from the viewpoint.
The trail culminates at Los Teñideros, where we will explore the natural phenomenon responsible for the river's distinctive color. Afterward, a lunch break will be provided before returning to La Fortuna around 4:30 pm.
Important information
A good level of physical condition is required to participate in this activity.
