Hiking

Rio Celeste waterfall if one of the nicest in CR. Hike is not hard unless it's raining. Be ready for everything as weather can change fast. Early morning visit is recommended to avoid crowds. No swimming in the park but you can do it down the road at the river crossing.

Hiking

Many steps lead down to this magnificent waterfall. If you are not that fit, you do not have to scramble all the way down to have a nice view.

Hiking

A magical place in this world is the Rio Celeste waterfall. It falls 30 meters into a bright blue lagoon. You have to climb 253 steep steps, which are particularly strenuous in the high humidity, to go down and then back up again. But you will definitely never forget the special magic of this place.
