General Information About Rio Celeste
The **Río Celeste**, located in the **Tenorio Volcano National Park**, is one of the most impressive and unique destinations in Costa Rica, famous for its vibrant turquoise color. This natural phenomenon is the result of the mixing of waters from two rivers, the **Río Buena Vista** and the **Río Quebrada Agria**, which are located on the slopes of the volcano and, when joined, create a visual spectacle of intense blue and almost fluorescent waters due to the high concentration of minerals and sulfur in the area. **Unique Turquoise Color**: The main attraction of the river is its unmistakable bright blue color, which makes it one of the most impressive natural wonders in the country. The phenomenon is caused by the combination of water with sulfur and other minerals from the volcano. You will visit the waterfall, and the dyeing pits, which is where the water changes from transparent to a blue color like the sky.
