Tenorio Volcano National Park

Park Info

To enter, every day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can stay in place until 4 p.m.

The color of the Celeste River, surrounded by a lush forest, offers a stunning landscape worthy to be known and admired.

A pristine stream that is turquoise dyed. It is not a magic act: it is a natural spectacle you can only witness in the place known as El Teñidero.

Located in the Guanacaste Volcanic Mountain Range, this park has a rainforest that protects species of wildlife of regional importance. Within the area, the Tenorio Volcano, with its four cones, offers natural scenic overlooks that allow appreciation of the plains of the Pacific and Caribbean. “It is a magical place that offers a variety of possibilities to appreciate the wonders of nature and difficult to find phenomena. If not known, it is time to do so; not regret, “said Vilmar Villalobos, manager of the Park.
