The hike to the Celeste River offers a unique natural spectacle where the river and its rocks transform into a light blue hue. This occurs due to minerals that are washed from the ground into the river, a result of the river’s location on the slopes of the dormant Tenorio Volcano and the remaining vents from its depths.
