The best nature hike in Rio Celeste

Published on Jan, 2025

The best nature hike at Río Celeste with Tropiexplore! The vivid turquoise waters were even more stunning in person than in pictures. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fascinating details about the area’s history, wildlife, and the natural phenomenon that gives the river its unique color. The hike was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, and the sights along the way—lush rainforest, cascading waterfalls, and vibrant flora—were absolutely breathtaking. Tropiexplore’s professionalism and passion for nature made the whole experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this hike for anyone visiting Costa Rica. It’s an absolute must-do with Tropiexplore!

Phenomenal

TropiExplore was an amazing company to work with on our trip. Jonathon was the perfect guide. Phenomenal experience. We showed up with two flat tires be he figured it all out for us. He took us to the car rental, talked/translated to the people who worked there, got us two new tires on the house, STILL took us on our tour, took us back to the rental car place to pick up our car, and ensured everything ran smoothly. ABOVE AND BEYOND.
