All in one trip along Costa Rica!.

Continue to Arenal Volcano (youngest and one of the most active stratovolcano in Costa Rica, near Lake Arena); and after that, have a wonderful stay in Rio Celeste (known for it's divine hue of turquoise), that runs through the lush Tenorio Volcano National Park. The body of water's moniker stems from its striking color, which is caused by the interactions of chemicals and minerals linked to the region's volcanic activity.

The stunning area of Rio Celeste is described by the local saying; when god finished painting the sky blue, he washed his paintbrushes in Rio Celeste. The Rio Celeste (Blue River) has a magnificent deep turquoise blue color due to a chemical reaction of volcanic minerals and a privileged location and a striking waterfall. The mystical river is set amidst lush verdant rainforests where ecological trails lead you to waterfalls, hot springs, and mud baths. Visitors can watch the waters changed color from clear to an intense shade of blue where two streams merge causing the chemical reaction.
