One hour drive from La Fortuna, you find the most famous and very stunning waterfall, called Rio Celeste. It is located in the Tenorio Volcano Nationalpark.

What makes this place unique is that the water of the Celeste River and also from the waterfall is very blue. Unfortunately, it is not allowed to swim inside the Nationalpark, not in the waterfalls, and not in the river. There is a spot outside of the Nationalpark next to the bridge where you get access to the blue river and can go for a swim.

Besides the waterfall, you can walk a beautiful and jungly trail along with the Rio Celeste for about 1.5 hours. The entrance fee is 12 USD per person. If you come by car, you will have to pay an additional 2 USD to park the car.
