Additional Information

At a two hour drive from La Fortuna we visit the Tenorio volcano national park. After some hiking we will get to the Rio Celeste (blue river).

The blue color you can see is the result of a chemical reaction between two merging rivers containing different volcanic minerals. (Foto tenideros) It’s a very rare phenomenon which creates a fairytale- like beauty.

The hike itself is medium tough and takes about 4 hours. It will take you to a waterfall, a lookout point and the place where the river changes colors. (Foto waterfall)With the help of the guide there is a good possibility of seeing wildlife.

After the hike we’ll have lunch and start our drive back to la Fortuna.

Great wildlife experience! - At first we weren't sure how this tour would be as the location is right off a main road, but it turned out to be great! Enthusiastic and informative guide. He went the extra mile to scout various wildlife out and be sure we all saw it. We even were treated to a rare sight, the sloth making his weekly descent from the tree - so awesome! I think we saw 5 sloths, two were moving around. Saw several types of birds. Overall a great tour! Well worth the money.
