Itinerary

  • Rio Celeste

    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 tour!

Published on Feb, 2025

Gonzalo, our guide, was excellent. Informative, funny, and friendly. He even took care to learn everyone's name and used them throughout. The planned activities were great and we even rescued a turtle from the roadside. Well worth doing!

Great day trip

Published on Feb, 2025

Great day trip to hike and visit Rio Celeste. The beauty of the park and the blue waters was incredible. Our guide Franklin was great, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. He worked hard to keep us entertained and happy. Highly recommend.

Loved it

Published on Feb, 2025

It’s a long drive there, and the hike is not an easy one, but we did it with 3 kids 7, 8 and 10 and loved it. The only thing I would say that was rough was lunch wasn’t until 3 after a really long day of hiking. Bring snacks and prepare for a long day. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the animals so that was very helpful!

Great hike to a beautiful waterfall and river

Published on Feb, 2025

Wonderful time with Franklin!! He is super knowledgeable and so much fun! Rio Celeste is beautiful. The walk through the park was very nice and Franklin pointed out all kinds of interesting animals and plants. Such a lovely day, shout out to our driver Olivier too!
