Exceptional experience
Our experience with David and his beautiful horses was the nicest experience of the trip. David is knowledgeable, funny and patient. The horses are beautiful, super well behaved and trained. Rio Celeste is amazing!!! The color, the cleanness…is a whole experience and we loved. We would absolutely do it again!.

Rio Celeste, Sloths and Cortez Waterfalls
Kevin and Kristian we're very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guides who made the tour fun and interesting. It was very well organized, the guide in the sloth sanctuary was very good and discovered lots of animals which he helped us photograph through the binoculars. The lunch location was well selected, the food delicious. Highly recommended!

Bianca Benson review
It is an amazing rainforest area. The Rio Celeste falls are amazing. The rain was intense, but that’s should be expected in the rainy season of the rain forest. However, maybe the site could emphasize that more so that people are more prepared. The trail is a bit tricky, with the mud, some inclines, and rock. I did expect some of it from the description. It was ok for me but would be hard for some.

Great hike
Santiago was an amazing guide! Every informative, went the extra mile. Our group was about 8 people which was nice, as my other tours felt a bit crowded. Unfortunately the water was not blue when we went due to the heavy rain the day before. but Santiago did his best to make the experience worth it, and it was! We saw many different snakes, spiders, and a family of sloths close enough to see without binoculars! The lunch was very tasty.

Wonderful hike and guides
The tour guides - Santiago and Ani were knowledgeable, funny, and kind. The flexed the tour based on the weather. They told stories. We tried termites. We stopped for howler monkeys and sloths. We had a wonderful time!

Excellent! Definitely worth it!
Fantastic experience. Our guide was great and we felt very safe. He knew the river well and pushed us when we needed to get around a rock or whatever. Super fun area to stop and swim in.

Amazing experience for all ages
We had an amazing time. My kids (teens) had a blast and even told me they wanted to do it again. Our guide was friendly and respectful, he made sure all of us were safe while having fun. Highly recommended to anyone!

Better than great!
We were 20 minutes late, based on cell coverage dying as we were at lunch, so we were super stressed getting to our meet- up location. Christian met us with a smile and “no stress” vibe. We drive 15 minutes to the river drop in, and the fun started! We had a great time traversing about 10 sets of rapids, having great fun, but never feeling unsafe. At the end, we were greeted with fruit, water and a dry towel….what else could you ask for? Great guide, great experience…..highly recommend!

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.
