Rio Celeste Guided Hike (Arenal)
Vendor: Central American Tours - CAT
Category: Hiking
Location: Costa Rica-Arenal
Its a 1.5 hour scenic drive from the Arenal Volcano through rural villages to get to Tenorio Pational Park. The Ro Celeste waterfall is becoming an increasingly popular area to visit in Costa Rica for hiking. Once we arrive, we will begin a hike through the dense, lush, tropical rainforest that surrounds the Tenorio National Park. You and your nature guide can go at your own pace and you'll learn interesting things about the rainforest along the way. When we arrive to Los Teideros, where two rivers come together, you'll be amazed at the celestial turquoise blue water color that comes from the waterfall. The celestial blue color is created when the minerals in the water: aluminum, silicon and oxygen are suspended in the water and refracts light from the sun so that the flow looks blue. We'll finish off with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. This Costa Rica hike takes about 1.5 to 2 hours or about 6 kms long (3 miles) and is considered a moderate hike Please note: The Ro Celeste blue waterfall may lose its blue color during rainstorms. Swimming is not allowed in the river.
