Volcán Tenorio

Volcán Tenorio is a dormant stratovolcano in Guanacaste featuring multiple volcanic cones surrounded by thick tropical forest. The landscape contains numerous rivers and waterfalls that carve through the terrain.

The national park was established in 1995 to protect water resources and biological diversity in the mountain region. This action recognized the ecological importance of the area.

Local communities near Tenorio Volcano maintain traditional agricultural practices while integrating nature conservation efforts within their daily activities.

The terrain is accessible on foot with trails that pass through varying landscapes. Morning visits are ideal, as light conditions better reveal the waterfalls and forest interior.

The Rio Celeste turns a bright blue color where two clear water streams merge at a specific location. This unusual natural phenomenon results from a reaction involving mineral substances in the water.
