Visiting Rio Celeste in Tenorio National Park

 

Our trip of the month was going to Rio Celeste, on the Tenorio National Park. There are many ways to enter the park, but we took the one that goes from Caña to Bijagua and then to the national park. It is around 4 hours from San Jose, but it is completely worthy.

Rio Celeste is one of the most beautiful rivers I have ever seen, with its light blue waters and lush green forest. The water takes that color because of the combination of two rivers with volcanic chemicals that get combined and create is marvelous jewel.

Canopy, also called ziplining, is available almost every place in Costa Rica.
