Tenorio National Park: Your Adventure Options
To see the Rio Celeste Waterfall and the natural color change (Teñideros), you have two distinct paths:
1. Full Day Guided Tour (Maximum Value)
This is the best way to see it all. Our tours include hiking, tubing, ziplining, a traditional lunch, and national park entrance.
2. Self-Guided Hike & Adventure Combo (DIY)
If you prefer exploring the trails at your own pace, you can complete the hike on your own and join us in Katira for tubing in the afternoon.
Note: Please keep in mind that inside the National Park, the only activity permitted is the guided walk to the waterfall. Swimming in the river within the park is strictly prohibited by law; tubing and swimming take place on our private property.
