Río Celeste Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo & Coco

Discover one of Costa Rica's most iconic natural wonders on this full-day adventure from Tamarindo, Flamingo, or Playas del Coco. Your journey begins with a scenic drive to Tenorio Volcano National Park, where a guided hike leads you through lush rainforest to the legendary Río Celeste — a river famous for its striking turquoise color, caused by a natural mineral reaction where two smaller rivers meet. Along the way, stop at a Sloth Sanctuary for a close-up look at these gentle, slow-moving creatures in their natural habitat, guided by local experts who share insight into their behavior and conservation. The day continues with a visit to Llanos del Cortez waterfall, where you can cool off in its natural pools before enjoying a hearty buffet lunch. Traveling with a certified bilingual guide and comfortable air-conditioned transport, this tour is perfect for nature lovers and first-time visitors to Costa Rica alike. Pickup is available from hotels and Airbnbs in Tamarindo, Playa Grande, Flamingo, Potrero, Brasilito, Conchal, Hacienda Pinilla, Playas del Coco, Papagayo, and other Guanacaste beach towns. Prefer to drive yourself? Choose the self-drive option and we'll send you the meeting point.
