What you can expect

  • Meet your guide at the entrance of Tenorio Volcano National Park and start your private adventure of the 5-kilometer hike through the rainforest to explore the flora and fauna.

    As you hike the scenic trails, we will share fascinating information about the areas volcanic history, unique ecoystem, and incredible biodiversity. Thanks to the private format, the pace is completely tailored to your group, allowing tme to observe wildlife, take pictures, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings,

    Throughout the hike, you will visit the parks most famous attractions

    Hike to your first stop within the park, the stunning waterfall. Keep an eye out for wildlife like snakes, spiders, and tapirs. Once we arrive at the waterfall entrance we will descend 188 steps to take in the views.

    After taking some pictures and going back up, we start the last kilometre before reaching the end of the trail. We stop at a viewpoint to see the Tenorio Volcano, then continue to a blue lagoon and a bubbling place that smells like sulphur from the activity of the volcano.

    Almost at the end we will cross two little bridges and finally arrive at the Teñidero to see where two rivers mix together and the blue colour starts. We will earn why the river has its magnificent colour.

    Using a professional spotting scope, helps us to find wildlife hidden in the rainforest canopy, making this experience perfect fot nature lovers, photographers, couples, familie, and small groups.

    Once back outside the park, we drive to the natural swimming pool at Rio Celeste where you can refresh (if weather and river conditions permit) and enjoy some local pineapple. After the swim, enjoy a delicious traditional lunch made from fresh locally grown ingredients at a local soft drink.
