The color of the Celeste River, surrounded by a lush forest, offers an impressive landscape worth knowing and admiring. A river with crystal clear waters that is tinged with turquoise. It is not an act of magic: it is a natural spectacle that you can only witness at the site known as El Teñidero.

Located in the Volcanic Cordillera of Guanacaste, this Park houses a rain forest that protects species of flora and fauna of regional importance. Within the area, the Tenorio volcano, with its four cones, offers natural panoramic views that allow you to appreciate the Pacific and Caribbean plains.

“It is a magical place that offers a wide variety of possibilities to appreciate the wonders of nature and difficult to find phenomena. If you don’t know it, it’s time to do it; you will not regret it, ”said Vilmar Villalobos, administrator of the Park.
