WATERFALLS
My favorite waterfalls in Costa Rica
Rio Celeste
Rio Celeste is well known for it brilliant blue waters, making it a famous attraction in Costa Rica. The blue water comes from a mix of volcanic rock within the water and it’s almost impossible to capture how luminescent the water really is in a photo. Seeing it first hand is the only way to truly admire the waterfall. The falls drop down 30 meters (100 feet) into the vibrant sky blue pool. Moreover, there are trails all throughout Tenorio Volcano National Park that are highly maintained.

Nauyaca is astonishing because it has a spectacular two level drop. The first one is 45 meters high (150 feet) and then it comes to another fall of 20 meters (65 feet) totaling 65 meters (200 feet). This is by far the best waterfall for swimming. Nauyaca has a huge 100 square meter (1000 square feet) pool at the bottom of the falls. Swimming here is an unforgettable experience but be aware that the pool is up to 6 meters (20 feet) deep!
