General Information About Hiking Rio Celeste - Tenorio Volcano
The Rio Celeste Waterfall, located within the Tenorio Volcano National Park in Costa Rica, is an awe-inspiring natural wonder that attracts visitors from all over the world. This tour will take you on an exciting and intense journey through approximately 4 miles (5 km) of trails that wind through primary and secondary forests at a moderate elevation, with an estimated duration of 4 hours. Along the way, you'll witness the vibrant biodiversity of the region, making it a paradise for nature lovers and photographers.
As you approach the famous area known as "Los Teñideros", you’ll observe the incredible natural phenomenon that gives the river its characteristic turquoise color. This occurs due to a volcanic chemical reaction that turns the water into a crystal-clear blue. From this point, the river retains its vibrant color for a distance of 22 miles (36 km), creating a truly unique experience that instantly connects you to the magic of nature.
The journey also includes a visit to the Blue Lagoon, a tranquil natural pool with deep, celestial blue hues, along with volcanic fumaroles where temperatures can reach up to 1500 °F (800 °C), creating a surreal atmosphere. In this area, you'll also be able to see the "Borbollones", where escaping volcanic gases cause the water to appear as though it's boiling—an incredible phenomenon that adds a unique touch to the experience.
The highlight of the tour is the imposing Rio Celeste Waterfall, where the water cascades nearly 100 feet (30 meters) into a stunning turquoise pool. This waterfall is considered one of the most beautiful not only in Costa Rica but in the world, a must-see destination.
Visiting the Rio Celeste Waterfall is not just about admiring its beauty; it's an immersive experience in one of Costa Rica’s most pristine environments, where the magic of nature truly comes to life in a unique way. Don’t forget your camera, as this is a place you’ll want to remember forever!
