What to ExpecWhat to Expect on This Rio Celeste Day Trip from La Fortuna

The National Park Hike: Explore 6 km (3.7 miles) of lush rainforest trails inside Tenorio Volcano National Park. Visit the breathtaking Rio Celeste Waterfall (a rewarding 200-step descent) and witness “Teñideros,” where two crystal-clear rivers merge to create that unique celestial hue.

The Secret Swim Experience: Swimming is strictly prohibited inside the national park. That is why our Rio Celeste tours from La Fortuna include exclusive access to a private river section outside the park, where you can safely dive into the blue water, relax, and take photos.

Local Culture & Lunch: We wrap up the adventure with an authentic Costa Rican lunch at a local gem before heading back to your hotel.

What to Bring & Wear

Pro Tip: Bring a waterproof phone case or a dry bag to protect your electronics and capture the best photos by the waterfall and river.

To Wear: Comfortable hiking shoes or sneakers with good grip (crucial for the 200+ stairs), lightweight breathable clothing, and your swimsuit underneath.

In your bag: A towel, a full change of clothes, and a rain poncho or light jacket (the rainforest is unpredictable!).

Essentials: Insect repellent, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle.
