Absolute Best Time Ever!!
Santiago is the best!!! So knowledgable of all the animals and making our trip so fun. The hike was beautiful and we got to swim in the river after. Lunch at the soda was fantastic too. Cannot recommend this enough for anyone visiting La Fortuna / Rio Celeste!!

It was a great time, I would definitely recommend. We were the only two in our group but the max size is four so we got to know our guide well. We saw howler monkeys and many birds as we went down the river. There was a rope swing as well which was very fun!

Amazing tour
It was an amazing experience. Thanks to Santiago and Ana everything was perfect. Both are very knowledgeable about the place the tail and very expertise spotting every animal. Thanks to them we were able to take pictures of a lot of different species. Highly recommended!!

Costa Rica Ecosystem UP Close!
We had a fabulous excursion with Johan as our guide to the waterfall and Fernando showed us amazing wildlife (sloths, viper snakes, etc). It was an educational day and a great way to explore the ecosystem of Costa Rica. Highly recommend!

Amazing Day!
We had an amazing tour with our guide, Dayro! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and great at spotting wildlife we would have missed on our own.
Rio Celeste Waterfall was stunning, and the Sloths and Wildlife Sanctuary was a highlight. We saw eyelash viper snakes, a tree frog, and even an anteater!
The van was very comfortable for the long ride, and the food was great as well.
Highly recommend this tour—Dayro made our tour unforgettable.

Amazing nature views
It’s a 12 hour day with about six hours of driving but well worth it for the beautiful nature views. The guides were amazing.

It was a very intense hike but well worth it
10/10 would recommend to everyone. Ariel was the best guide ever. Today was are last day in Costa Rica and out of all the hikes this one was the best!!!

A must book!
Great tour! Our guide Johnny was great at spotting all types of animals and was very knowledgeable. He accommodated our time schedule but still felt like we got our money worth. Also was great at taking pictures of us along the way. The waterfall itself is a decent walk up and down but worth it for the views. At the end of the hike we finished with fresh coconuts from the stand!

Ways to explore
How to get there
When to visit

There is an admission fee to enter the Tenorio Volcano National Park and visitor numbers are limited, so it’s best to arrive early.
The trail to the waterfall is 3.7 miles (6 kilometers) round-trip, and hiking to the waterfall takes about an hour.
A raincoat and sturdy shoes with a good grip are essential, as rain is common even in the dry season. The trails are unpaved and can get extremely muddy.
Restrooms, a restaurant, and a car park are located at the entrance to the national park.
