Playa Avellanas Trip Overview
Hike to the Celeste River is the sight of an unusual natural phenomenon where the river and its rocks suddenly turn light blue due to minerals washed off the ground into the river. These minerals are the result of the rivers location on the sides of the dormant Tenorio Volcano and the remaining vents from the depths of the volcano.
We will then follow the river downstream for a refreshing encounter with an enormous waterfall that spills down the sides of the volcano.
