Celeste River Hiking Trip

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

We will start with pick-up at 7:30 am at your hotel and head towards the Tenorio Volcano National Park, which has a summit at 2600 feet high. The journey from La Fortuna will take one hour and a half.

On the volcano's slopes, we will encounter the Celeste River, noted for its intense blue color. Legend states that after painting the sky, God cleaned his brushes in this river, giving it its turquoise blue color.

We will trek along a 4-mile route through dense forests until we reach the Celeste Waterfall, a great spot for photos. Remember to bring your camera!

Next, we will visit the Blue Lagoon, where the river forms a natural lagoon, viewable but not for bathing as per National Park regulations. A viewpoint allows us to admire the Celeste River.

At the end of the trail, we will discover Los Teñideros, where the river obtains its unique color. After following the river, we will stop for lunch before returning to our hotels in La Fortuna around 4:30 pm.
