R\u00edo Celeste (\u201csky-blue river\u201d in English) is one of Costa Rica\u2019s most beautiful places and definitely worth a visit if you\u2019re in the La Fortuna area. While it\u2019s possible to go on your own, it can be tricky to get to without a rental car, which I didn\u2019t have. <\/p>\n

Instead of having to figure out all the transportation details, I opted to go on a full-day tour from La Fortuna. Stick around to find out: is the Rio Celeste tour worth it?<\/p>\n

My Experience<\/h2>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I booked a full-day tour of R\u00edo Celeste and Tenorio Volcano National Park, not really knowing what to expect. I had heard about R\u00edo Celeste and it was definitely on my mind when I got to La Fortuna, but it\u2019s a 90-minute drive from where I was staying, and I hadn\u2019t rented a car. A spur-of-the-moment decision led me to book the tour, especially after I did the math on how much it would cost to get there on my own, factoring in the admission fee to the national park, snacks, and meals.<\/p>\n

The $85 price tag seemed a little hefty at first, but at the time, I wasn\u2019t exactly sure how to get to R\u00edo Celeste via public transportation, and paying a taxi to take me would have been about $50 each way, so that was a big no for me.<\/p>\n

Considering that the tour includes transportation, lunch, the entrance fee to the national park, and a naturalist guide, I thought it was worth the price, and so I booked it the day before. The van came around to pick me up early, around 6am, and I was greeted by my guide, Carlos.<\/p>\n
