This guided hike follows a seven-kilometre trail through the rainforest and shows you exactly where and why the water looks the way it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trail passes several distinct stops. First is the Rio Celeste waterfall, where the river drops into a pool surrounded by dense vegetation. From there the route reaches the Blue Lagoon, formed where the river broadens into a calmer stretch of water. A viewpoint gives an open look at Tenorio Volcano and the hills around it. The hike then arrives at the Teñideros — locally called the Dyeing Pot — the point where two streams converge and a chemical reaction turns the water its characteristic colour. The mixing of two mineral-rich flows causes suspended particles to scatter light at the blue-green end of the spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final section follows the riverbank, past thermal water springs and areas of bubbling water where geothermal activity reaches the surface. The hike finishes with a cooked lunch. The trail runs to approximately four and a third miles in total, and the guide leads the group throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"phasec-create","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43808538067003,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/242249_2F1733507824587_0I0A2368.jpg?v=1784350895","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/ecoterra-costa-rica-hiking-rio-celeste-tenorio-national-park-242249","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
