Rio Celeste Waterfall Hike

Discover turquoise waters, lush rainforests, and enchanting wildlife on our Rio Celeste hike in Costa Rica. Showcasing the beautiful sights of the Tenorio Volcano National Park, you’ll experience one of Costa Rica’s lesser-known attractions – the Rio Celeste, or Sky Blue River.

Starting with a moderate hike, you’ll be rewarded with views of the Rio Celeste waterfall and its distinct blue coloring. Follow the stairs down to the waters edge and you can witness the stunning 60-foot waterfall as it empties into a pool of sky blue water. Continuing down the well-maintained path and venturing across hanging bridges that span the river, you’ll find its origins in an azure lagoon further up the trail. The Rio Celeste in Costa Rica is surrounded by the emerald green forests of the National Park, creating an experience unlike any other.

You’ll even get to witness the two rivers that mix to create the Rio Celeste and where they combine is where the vibrant blue color begins. The Rio Celeste’s blue water comes from the minerals in the volcanic rock, but seeing them in person will feel like you are experiencing magic in nature.

Going on a hike at Rio Celeste is a trip that all nature lovers will enjoy!
