VACATIONS

Tenorio Volcano National Park in Costa Rica is perfect for waterfall lovers, as it features a stunning forest hike leading to the striking blue hues of the Rio Celeste waterfall.
Along the hike, you can watch volcanic gasses bubble to the surface at the hot springs, walk a series of bridges, and see the bright blue waters the Rio Celeste is known for.
If you sign up for a tour of the area, a guide can tell you more about the region and help you locate sloths, snakes, monkeys, tapirs, exotic birds, and signs of big cats.
After hiking to the waterfall, visitors can go river tubing or horseback riding. You can also hit the zip-lining circuit or take a guided tour of the wildlife-filled Bijagua trail.
