Rio Celeste

Rio Celeste

Rio Celeste is a dreamy river that runs a bright sky-blue color through the rainforest of Tenorio Volcano park. Its glowing waters tumble over a tall, misty waterfall into a blue pool below.

It is loved because the water looks almost painted, a magic blue made when two clear streams meet and their minerals mix. The famous waterfall is one of the most photographed places in all of Costa Rica.

The muddy jungle trail can be a fun challenge, so wear good shoes and watch for frogs and butterflies along the way.
