Rio Celeste Waterfall Hiking - Llanos Del Cortes waterfall & sloth observatory
Description
Hike to the Celeste River is the sight of an unusual natural phenomenon where the river and its rocks suddenly turn light blue due to minerals washed off the ground into the river. These minerals are the result of the rivers location on the sides of the dormant Tenorio Volcano and the remaining vents from the depths of the volcano. We will then follow the river downstream for a refreshing encounter with an enormous waterfall that spills down the sides of the volcano. Adventure off the traditional path to the spectacular ¨ Llanos de Cortez Waterfall¨. This secluded waterfall spans 30ft high and 40 ft wide and cascades into a white sand pond. Enjoy swimming, hiking or just relaxing.

We couldn’t have had a better time on our adventure with Guanacaste Adventure & Travel. Wilmar thoroughly entertained us on the drive between sites with engaging stories about various landmarks and daily life in Costa Rica. On our hike to the beautiful Rio Celeste waterfall, he was exceptionally knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. He then brought us to a wonderful wildlife preserve, where the local site guide helped us spot red-eyed tree frogs, poison dart frogs, an eyelash viper, a tapir, two sloths, and a toucan. Afterward, Wilmar treated us to a delicious, traditional lunch of pollo casado at a charming local restaurant, before finishing the perfect day with a swim at the stunning Llanos de Cortes cascade. Wilmar is an excellent driver and an expert naturalist who coordinates a flawless itinerary. We highly recommend Guanacaste Adventure & Travel!
Hello! Dear client Michael Thanks a lot for the comments. I really appreciate that. Also i enjoyed the day with you and wife. I hope to see you again in costa rica and explore a different excursion. God blessings Wilmar Naturalist guide certified
Wow, what a great day. Wilmar is a great tour guide and I would recommend him to anyone that travels to the area. Our first stop was the sloth observatory, where we saw a lot of different flora and fauna and lots of wildlife. We were also very lucky to see a baby sloth up close. Second we went to tenorio national park. Wilmar guided us round the national park showing us different snakes, insects, tarantula holes and amazing things in the national park. We went down to rio celeste waterfall which was beautiful, although it was raining it still had a good blue coloured tint to the water. Finally our last stop was a waterfall swim back to the hotel. The water was cold, so we didn't swim but it was very picturesque. Thank you Wilmar for a great day and I hope more people get to experience your hospitality on the tours you provide.

Excellent tour for all ages. Wilmar was a fantastic guide who made quick adjustments to the pick-up location / time because we had an emergency. He was an excellent guide, and pointed out wildlife on our hike to the waterfall. The waterfall was magnificant. The staff at the sloth sanctuary were great with our grandchildren (8 and 9) and showed them lots of wildlife. We would enthusiastically recommend the tour ……and Wilmar!!
