About this activity

Experience the natural and cultural highlights of Costa Rica in one unforgettable day.

Begin with a rainforest hike in Tenorio Volcano National Park to the spectacular Rio Celeste Waterfall, famous for its striking blue waters. Then, take a guided wildlife walk focused on spotting sloths, while also looking for toucans, frogs, snakes, and, with some luck, a Baird’s tapir.

Enjoy a traditional Costa Rican lunch in a local restaurant surrounded by the river and rain forest. Just a 4-minute walk from the local restaurant, discover a private natural swimming hole along the Río Celeste. Take a refreshing swim and enjoy the river and surrounding forest in a peaceful, natural setting.

Finish at a small farm at the foot of the volcanoes for a cacao, chocolate, and coffee experience. Learn how coffee and cacao are grown and processed, taste Costa Rican coffee, and discover different cacao products, including cacao tea, dark chocolate, and sweet chocolate.
