During this drive you will enjoy spectacular views of the Arenal, Tenorio and Miravalles Volcanoes and on clear days, Lake Nicaragua. From the town of Rio Celeste you will hike through Tropical Humid Forest to the Rio Celeste (Blue River) Waterfall.

From there you will continue your hike enjoying the rich flora and fauna typically found in this area until you reach the spot at which the river gets it’s unique colour. Here you’ll see the river transformed before your eyes into a vivid turquoise colour that only nature could produce. Also, before leaving this site you’ll indulge in its natural mineral hot springs.
