Discover the enchanting beauty of Río Celeste, a dreamlike river hidden in the heart of Costa Rica’s Tenorio Volcano National Park. This mesmerizing river, located in the province of Alajuela, is renowned for its striking celestial blue color, a phenomenon created by the interaction of aluminum silicates in its waters.
Visitors to Río Celeste are greeted by a lush tropical forest, a stunning waterfall cascading into the vibrant blue river, a serene volcano viewpoint, a mysterious blue lagoon, and bubbling natural pools. One of the most fascinating spots is the “Teñideros,” where the river’s attributes blend, creating a spectrum of blue hues that will leave you in awe.
The park is home to diverse wildlife, including howler monkeys and various bird species, making it a haven for nature lovers. Open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., the park offers a moderate 1.5-kilometer hike, suitable for hikers of all levels. Although swimming is not allowed, the surreal beauty of Río Celeste makes it a must-visit destination in Costa Rica.
