Very fun! Got to see some wildlife too. Highly recommended!!!
they literally only gave us 2 seconds to see it bc there was a line and there is no room they let a group of 30 people stay down there longer than groups of two, they advertise like you will be able to enjoy the waterfall but all you get is a picture and get booted. Very pretty to look at if we actually would have got to ! not worth the money and the drive but i recommend stopping and swimming in the part before the park it is still pretty blue water
Super nice hike, nature is radiant, the blue color of the water... wow It is a must in Costa Rica Enjoy in you too
No signs that shows the route. No alert about how long or how hard the trail will be. Even though it’s labeled “moderate,” many visitors don’t realize there are ~250 steep stairs to the waterfall section. In addition, The waterfall viewpoint often has long queues, especially mid-morning to early afternoon.
Good fast correct service
Great waterfall with blue river Booking must be done through Simac very complicated The park is very nice up to the waterfall the path is ok. Then you have to queue at the waterfall as only 6 people are allowed to stay at the end of the steps. You can't go all the way down. Once you are back up you can walk to the right and after 1.5 km you come to the Tenderos where both rivers converge and then the blue color is formed by chemical reactions. On the way you can see turtles. Some have also seen a tapir but is very rare. The path is very arduous as it goes down and back up over root and high steps. Still worth it
Fantastic experience and great hike. Often rocky, very muddy and medium difficulty but so worth seeing the water. I would recommend not wearing sandals but many people did. It is not a loop trail but rather walk to the end (so worth it) and walk back. Be prepared to pay for parking/ we paid 3000 colones at the site. Go early as there was a que at the waterfall and it was longer later. Loved it!
I recommend going early in the early. We went at 9:00 am and the hike itself was sooo much fun. There was a line to see the waterfall so the earlier the better but honestly even then the line wasn't that bad, waited for maybe 10-15 minute. I then hiked to the blue lagoon which was a tough hike but the view was incredible.
Tenorio national park is a place you need to visit when be in Costa Rica. We’ve purchased tickets on line and we didn’t have to wait in queue. Pathway is very clear and safe. I would say you don’t need to hire guide unless you want to know more info for animals and plants in park. In the middle of the park there is the Rio Celeste waterfall who is very beautiful. After 650 metres you arrive at the famous blue lake. I strongly recommend an early visit when park is not busy and you can hear all the sounds of the forest.
We purchased our tickets in advance, which is a must. Parking at the site is an additional 3,000 Costa Rican colones (approximately $6.05 USD). Be sure to leave any plastic bags behind, as backpacks and bags are searched thoroughly at the entrance. The trail was quite crowded for a Tuesday morning. We arrived around 10:20 am and encountered at least 100 people on the initial 3/4-mile walk to the waterfall. Once you reach the falls, expect to wait in a line on the stairs for a chance to take photos. The stairs are currently blocked near the top of the falls due to visible landslide damage, so the climb down is about half the reported 250 steps. Continuing to the overlook at the end of the trail is another 3/4-mile and is fairly easy, with the exception of one section of steep steps. We were lucky enough to spot two poisonous eyelash palm pit viper snakes in the foliage, which drew a large crowd of sightseers. Be prepared for occasional hold-ups where the trail narrows to let others pass. Even in the dry season, the rainforest environment means the trail is muddy and slick in sections. The entire hike took us about 2 hours.
