Welcome to our tours page of Costa Rica. You are about to set foot in one of the world’s most beautiful ecological gems. The land which Christopher Columbus named the “rich coast” is now seen as one of the safest and most progressive countries in South America. The only thing to be found in Costa Rica is the Pura Vida (literally “pure life”), an optimistic zest for life in all circumstances… The Costa Ricans (or Ticos for insiders) are constantly cheerful and welcoming to visitors! Costa Rica was also the first nation in the world to dissolve its army, a testament to their commitment to peace and prosperity above all else. It is regularly classed as one of the top countries for standards of living, and has a remarkable development model that prioritizes education, health care and protection of the environment. If you are a nature lover, you will find yourself in heaven… Costa Rica is a pioneering country in the field of ecotourism, and has an extremely rich biodiversity. Several unique species can be found in some of the country’s 33 national parks and reserves: no less than 25% of the Costa Rican territory is protected! To visit Costa Rica is to discover a wild paradise in which people are truly happy – what more could you want?

Despite the rainy weather, the mud everywhere and the fact that the mist completely obscured the views of the Tenorio Volcano, the scenery and landscapes I encountered during my visit to Tenorio Volcano National Park count among the most beautiful and astonishing I had the chance to explore during my <a href="/costa-rica/">stay in Costa Rica</a>. The reason: the spectacular waters of the Rio Celeste.  To see them, head along the well-signposted hiking trail that begins at the park's car park. You'll come to several viewing points from where you'll be able to admire the river's azure blue waters at closer range as you follow the walk through the forest. You'll also get to see the Celester River waterfall, with its turquoise water falling into an enchanting, fairytale pool; this is the Pozo Azul and the incredible Los Teñidores (The Dyers), the point where two small rivers meet, creating a superb gradation of colors. It's absolutely wonderful. Allow around three hours for the round trip if you want to walk the whole trail.

A wonderful national park with enchanting scenery, a river and a turquoise waterfall, all to be seen and experienced along a beautiful walk.

Hiking in the Tenorio Volcano National Park is a real pleasure. Discovering the Rio Celeste flowing through the heart of intense vegetation is a spectacular sight <a href="/costa-rica/">during your trip Costa Rica</a> ; Despite the rain, I don't regret going to see this extraordinary sight. Steep steps lead to the amazing Rio Celeste waterfall which is 20 meters high. Then the Azul lake completely confounds your expectations. The water has sublime almost unreal shades of blue. According to legend, God washed his paintbrush in the lake after he had painted the sky blue. Scientists - for whom this poetic solution doesn't hold water - say that it's more to do with sulphur...
