COSTA RICA VACATION
THE CELESTIAL RIVER
Your Costa Rica vacation really should include a visit to the Rio Celeste, the "Celestial River".
Imagine Costa Rica family vacations to a place where the water appears to magically turn celestial blue---and then joining the kids in a warm pool under the waterfall.
Or a romantic swim on your Costa Rica honeymoon. Beautiful, isn’t it? One of Costa Rica’s Seven Wonders. This jewel in the northern part of Costa Rica is really this light-azul color and is even more magnificent because of the lush forest surrounding it. Better yet, it’s still largely undiscovered and little visited. If you want to see it when you travel Costa Rica, you need to visit Tenorio Volcano National Park, one of Costa Rica's newest. And only about an hour's drive northwest of Arenal Volcano. So, put on your hiking boots, bring your swimsuit and lunch, and visit a magical river! This is one of those Costa Rica family vacations trips you don't want to miss. Be sure to include the Rio Celeste on your travel Costa Rica list of places to see when you also visit mighty
Arenal Volcano, click.
Though the color of the river is spectacular, it’s one of the Seven Wonders for another reason. It literally changes color, from crystal clear to azul before your eyes! How? A magical chemical change from the volcano and the fresh water river.

So, if you really want to get away from it all on your trip, come to the Rio Celeste. Explore the newly created national park. Go horseback riding.
Take a tropical hike through the Costa Rica forest. And bring your bathing suit.
