Río Celeste: A Dreamlike Place in Costa Rica

Río Celeste, a magical river hidden in the heart of Costa Rica’s natural wonders, is a must-visit destination. Located in the province of Alajuela within Tenorio Volcano National Park, it owes its famous celestial blue color to an optical phenomenon caused by aluminum silicates in its waters.

The region offers a lush tropical forest, a stunning celestial waterfall, a volcano viewpoint, a mysterious blue lagoon, bubbling natural pools, and unique “Teñideros,” where river attributes mix to create various shades of blue.

Wildlife enthusiasts will also find diverse fauna, including howler monkeys and various bird species.

The park is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and although swimming in the river is prohibited, the natural beauty is awe-inspiring. A moderate 1.5-kilometer hike makes it accessible to all levels of hikers.
