Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Rio Celeste, Tenorio Volcano National Park Costa Rica
You'll then engage in a 4-hour hike that is a bit tough for some but the end result is definitely worth it. After your 4-hour hike you'll get to the Rio Celeste (Blue River). The blue color you'll see is the result of a chemical reaction between two merging rivers containing different volcanic minerals. It's a very rare phenomenon which creates a fairy-tale-like beauty. You'll get to see a waterfall, a lookout point that's great for taking pictures and you'll also get to see the place where the river changes colors.

Great experience ! A nice tour in the forest, the guide take care to explain as much as possible. Beware the way is pretty diffult. Person who are not sportive may stop after the first point of view

This is probably one of the best activities I’ve enjoyed, but that’s because I enjoy trails, and being in the jungle, so much. Eddie was very knowledgeable, pointing out various snakes, lizards, frogs, etc. This trail does require a moderate amount of effort as there are several stairs to climb, and the whole trail does take a bit over 2 hrs, conservatively. Keep in mind to come before the rainy season is underway. I planned this just right, as a rain storm caught us in the drive back into La Fortuna.
The waterfall, mineral deposits in the water are stunning. The lunch was excellent. This was by far, the best lunch that followed an outing I’d had sense being out here. This is definitely an activity to fit in while in La Fortuna.

Had an amazing day on this tour. Our guide Santiago and driver Martha went above and beyond to make our day special. We would never have spotted all the wildlife without Santiago and his fab camera skills. He even offered to send us his professional pictures at the end of the tour. 100% would recommend this tour.

Beautiful and great trip. Our guide was friendly and great and showed us many things. Appreciated the driver picking us up directly from our rental and couldn’t have asked for a better group of guides.
Thank you

This was an amazing tour. Our guide Santiago was able to spot a baby cayman, a sloth, and a toucan before we got to the national park. Santiago was very enthusiastic about the wildlife and the history of the Rio Celeste, I have CP which made certain parts hard for me. But Santiago went beyond what was required to help me through the difficult parts to ensure I was able to see everything. There are so many spots to see the Rio Celeste and view of the volcano. There is 260 stairs up and down to the waterfall and uneven terrain. I recommend hiking boots, After the hike we lunch and an option to swim but our group was tired to swim. I greatly appreciate Santiago’s help and patience and made the experience a memorable one. If you go to Rio Celeste please go through Red Lava TSC and request Santiago. It is a beautiful place to visit.

I’m glad I did this hike with this tour group. Santiago has a great eye for spotting all of the forest creatures! He made sure everyone in the group was okay and has great knowledge of this area. He keeps an uplifting vibe with his humor. Great day and adventure.
The reason i had to minus a star was because the van was just hot and uncomfortable. Maybe fix the vans or get new ones. It’s about 3 hours in that van round trip.
