The dry season's pleasant weather and little to no rain is perfect for beach days and outdoor activities. It is also a peak season with higher costs.

Green, a.k.a. Rainy season is quite long, with rains almost every day. Some times they are short, other times can pour all day. But the rainforests are especially lush and wildlife rich, so it's still a good season to vistit if you are prepared. The rainiest months are September and October. November is a transition month with frequent but short rainfalls.

The Rio Celeste Trail is a scenic trail in Tenorio Volcano National Park. The trail is approximately 4-miles long and takes you through the lush tropical rainforest and along the bright blue Rio Celeste river. Check AllTrails link for more technical details.

Along the trail, you will see several natural wonders, including Laguna Azul (a magical pool of blue water), Los Borbollones (a spot in the river where sulfuric gases from the volcano bubble up through the water), El Teñidero (an Indiana-Jones style bridge to see how rivers converge into one blue current), and finally the magnificent Rio Celeste – a 98 feet waterfall with a pool of bright blue water.


The trail can be challenging with steep sections and rocky terrain, especially when it rains, but the stunning views make it well worth it. We recommend bringing plenty of water and proper hiking gear to comfortably walk this trail.
