About Rio Celeste
The Celeste River is the result of the confluence of two bodies of water, the Buena Vista River and the Agria Creek, which flow down the slopes of the Tenorio Volcano. It is precisely at this junction that the phenomenon that gives the river its characteristic color occurs: a combination of minerals and natural chemical processes creates an optical effect that tints the water a vibrant shade of blue, as if the sky were reflected directly on its surface.
But the Celeste River is much more than a visual wonder. The Tenorio Volcano National Park, where it is located, is a place of astounding biodiversity and natural beauty. Well-marked trails lead you through dense tropical forests, where you can spot a variety of unique flora and fauna, until you reach impressive points of interest such as the Celeste River Waterfall, where the waters cascade into a pool of almost surreal blue.
