Celeste river waterfall and volcano guided rainforest hike and exuberant wildlife watching tour at Arenal in La Fortuna

Spend a delightful day exploring the natural wonders of Tenorio Volcano National Park.

Here we will take hike through the beautiful rainforest. Along the way, we will visit the lagoon and los Teñideros –which features the convergence of two rivers in the jungle. Behold the clear waters turning bright heavenly turquoise blue when they merge as if by magic — a natural spectacle caused by a chemical reaction of volcanic minerals in the water.. At the last stop we will enjoy the magnificent Rio Celeste Waterfall, and a short hike will bring us back to lunch and our return transportation.

Itinerary

Hike among the spectacular scenery and mystical aquamarine waters of Tenorio Volcano National Park. Your tour begins with morning pickup at your La Fortuna hotel, and then a 1.5-hour drive that takes you through the scenic hillsides of Arenal Volcano National Park. Stock up on snacking provisions at a local store if you like (own expense) before entering the majestic beauty of Tenorio Volcano National Park.

On a full-day trip from La Fortuna, discover the amazing biodiversity of Costa Rica’s rain forests while accompanied by an expert naturalist guide. See the beautiful Rio Celeste waterfall that cascades into a clear turquoise lagoon, and watch the mysterious color-changing rivers of Los Teñideros; the site where two streams of crystalline water come together and form the heavenly color blue that gives the river its name.

Embark on a moderately challenging 4- to 6-hour hike through the lush rain forest of the park. The terrain is steep and rocky at parts, so feel free to hike at a pace that works for you. Your guide will point out highlights of the landscape, including interesting plants and the many types of wildlife that call this area home.
