Quick Facts

Location: Tenorio Volcano National Park
Altitude: 6,286 feet above sea level

The upper regions of the park have never been explored. Lodges located near the base of Tenorio offer horseback and hiking tours through the protected forests for close-up views of the abundant wildlife in the area. The well-known Rio Celeste, with its light-blue, sulfur filled waters, is located here. To avoid the wind and rain, schedule your visit for the peak of the dry season, during the months of February through May. The national park is relatively cool and rainy during the month of January.
