Río Celeste, Tenorio Volcano National Park

It's about a 1.5-hour drive from La Fortuna, so plan your day accordingly.

Bring a camera to capture the stunning blue waters, but be ready for some steep steps to get the best views.

Make sure to wear a life jacket and follow safety instructions while tubing.

Prepare for a hike of about 1.5 km to reach the waterfall, and wear sturdy shoes as the trail can be uneven.

You can't swim in the hot springs, but the hike is amazing for wildlife viewing.

Make sure to arrive early to enjoy the beauty of the river without the crowds.

Plan to spend one or two days to fully explore the park.

Check for nearby campsites in advance to ensure a good spot by the river.
