Guided Rainforest Hike (2.5 – 3 Hours) Enter the mystical Tenorio Volcano National Park. Our expert guide will lead you through a primary rainforest trail, pointing out tropical birds, butterflies, and sometimes sloths or monkeys along the way.
The Majestic Rio Celeste Waterfall Descend the stairs to witness the breathtaking sight of the celestial blue waterfall dropping into a deep turquoise pool. It is one of the most photographed spots in Costa Rica!
Los Teñideros: Where the Magic Happens Continue the hike to «Los Teñideros,» the exact point where two clear rivers meet and a chemical reaction creates the famous light blue color. It’s a unique natural phenomenon you have to see to believe.
Blue Lagoon & Boiling Mud Pots Pass by the stunning Blue Lagoon and see the «Borbollones,» where volcanic gases bubble up through the riverbed, reminding you of the active volcano beneath your feet.
