Rio Celeste, Costa Rica - Message from the tour company was received the day before introducing our guide, Pepe, and driver, Carlos. The arrived at our hotel right on time for pickup. It was a long-ish ride from La Fortuna, but Pepe chatted with us and filled us in more on what we would be doing. The hike itself was great with a very well-traveled trail. Pepe pointed out the various animals as we found them. He took pictures for us through his scope, as most guides do, as well as pics of every couple and the whole group together. We had hoped to see a tapir, but it was not to be. However, we did come across a Fer de Lance (highly poisonous snake), which is not common to see. The trail ends where two streams meet, and the alkalinity of one mixes with the minerals in the other, creating the blue color of Rio Celeste. After hiking back out, we stopped for lunch, which we all thought was fine, if basic. Then it was off to a spot outside the park for a swim in the Rio Celeste. Pepe held our towels and took pictures for us until we were ready to head back to our hotel.

Hospitality at it's best - The bar staff in the Rio Park Benidorm see Hospitality as a career - I've never seen anywhere in England take so much care in cleaning down barista machines at the end of the day - we need to make hospitality a valued profession in the UK along with the carers

Family adventures - This was challenging for me but I'm so glad I did it! There's so much to see on the drive to the Rio Celeste. There were a few parts that were challenging due to my bad knees but slow and steady got me there! Bring a swim suit and change of clothes if you feel like swimming at the end. The guides have a spot away from the park where folks can cool off.

A perfect day in paradise! - So glad I got to do this! It was truly a perfect day. A beautiful drive there. Stopped at a nice bakery and coffee shop on the way. The hike through Rio Celeste was beautiful. Especially for nature lovers. After the hike we had a delicious lunch. There was a nice area that we were able to swim in. Beautiful drive back with a surprise stop on the way.

Great place to visit - The park is a great place, the views of the Rio Celeste are absolutely worth it. The guide is useful to help us spot wildlife. It was a little bit crowded in the park though.

meh - This tour was an efficient way to see the Tenorio volcano area, but the "walk" was more of a hike. That was fine by me, but the group was ill prepared for that, which made it less than ideal.
