Literally the best $7 I have ever spent in my life lol the most magical short hike down to the river. I had the whole swimming site all to myself for a while and it was magical being immersed in Mother Nature and the turquoise waters of the Rio Celeste

If you buy this, nobody will give you the actual location. Just drive to Rio Celeste and follow the signs that say “private path to swimming hole $6.” Yes, if you pay there it’s $6, not $8. There was no guide.
I gave it 2 stars because you shouldn’t buy it here and it’s false advertising to promise a guide, but you should still go. It’s amazing. The hike was pretty rough (for us, with a toddler) but well worth it. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen and a lovely, refreshing swim.
