    Small photo hotspot, when the weather is nice, the blue color of the water is even better to see

      Los Teñideros is the name of the place where the Rio Celeste gets its turquoise blue color. It is the confluence of the crystal clear streams Rio Buena Vista and Quebrada Agrio. The chemical reaction of sulfur and calcium carbonate from the volcanic rock is responsible for this unique phenomenon that will leave you in awe.
