Rio Celeste Picture Gallery

Costa Rica's Jewel of the North. Rio Celeste is a river in the canton of Guatuso that is dyed light blue by a chemical reaction of minerals from the Tenorio Volcano. The magnificent color of the river, along with the lush forest that surrounds it, makes for a wonderful hike through the Tenorio Volcano National Park. A favorite of most visitors to the park, however, is the Rio Celeste waterfall that is perhaps the most beautiful of its kind in Costa Rica. Even though Rio Celeste is largely an undiscovered as a tourist attraction, the pictures shown here will show that Rio Celeste's beauty is not exaggerated.
