Tenorio Volcano National Park is public, so you will see other visitors on the trail during peak morning hours. Having a private guide allows you to enter early, avoid group bottlenecks, and explore independently.
It is a natural optical phenomenon. Where the Quebrada Agria and Buena Vista rivers meet at Los Teñideros, a shift in pH causes suspended aluminosilicate minerals to scatter sunlight specifically in the blue spectrum.
No, swimming is strictly prohibited inside park boundaries to protect the aquatic ecosystem. If you wish to swim or float on the blue river, our private tubing tour operates on the river section outside the park.
Yes. The tubing experience requires no prior experience and is suitable for all ages, equipped with safety gear, helmets, and certified river guides. If water levels are unsafe due to weather, tours are rescheduled or refunded.
