We leave at 7:00 a.m. from La Fortuna. After a typical breakfast in route to Rio Celeste, we´ll arrive at the Tenorio Volcano National Park, were we´ll begin our 5 miles hike (approximately 4 hours) through the tropical rain forest. We´ll arrive "Los Teñideros" of the Rio Celeste, the site where two streams of crystalline water come together and form the heavenly color blue that gives the river its name.
We´ll return through trails, rich with ecological wonders, that lead us to the "OLLAS" -- openings in the earth where we can excavate healing mud, take a mud bath, and a dip in the natural hot springs all while observing the attractions of Tenorio Volcano.
We´ll continue our hike through the jungle to seek out the volcano´s furnace vents that expel gases of extreme high temperatures. On our decent we will get to see the spectacular Rio Celeste waterfall whose color makes it one of a kind! Our final reward is an exquisite lunch at the end of our journey
