What Can You Expect
The adventure begins with pickup at your La Fortuna hotel and a scenic 2-hour drive through landscapes rich with tropical beauty and wildlife habitats. After arriving at Tenorio Volcano National Park, embark on a moderately challenging 4-hour hike through the park?s protected habitat. Along the way, your guide will help scout for animal sightings and point out highlights of passing flora and fauna. The effort will be well worth it when you reach the beautiful, bright-blue waters of Rio Celeste (Blue River). The otherworldly hue is thanks to converging volcanic minerals from two different rivers, resulting in a rare and photogenic chemical reaction. Snap pictures from a lookout point, admire a tropical waterfall and see the point where the river changes color. You?ll also have a chance to soak in natural warm-water river pools if you like. After exploring this fairytale-like landscape, replenish your energy with a delicious lunch of typical Costa Rican cuisine. Relax on the return drive to La Fortuna, where the full-day tour concludes with drop-off back at your hotel.
