ACTIVITIES
Spend a half or full day hiking along the Rio Celeste. The Rio Celeste is named after the color of its water—a bright, jewel-blue—caused by many dissolved, natural minerals, like cobalt.
 A guide will take you through secondary and primary rainforest, and pack in your lunch, fresh juices and water. From trailhead, it is only a 2 km. (1.2-mi) hike to the breathtaking Rio Celeste waterfall. The adventurous can swim near pounding 70-foot falls.

| A 7 km (4.3-mi) hike takes you beyond the falls and deeper into the rain virgin rain forest, home to pumas, tapirs and other animals. You will trek to the streaming hot and cool springs of the local volcanoes, mineral mud pits and the blue lagoon of the Rio Celeste. Allow a full day to hike, swim, lunch, and rest up afterwards. |

We offer horses for all levels––from first time riders to cowboys for children and adults. We ride for hours through the ranch, meadows and rainforest, through the green valleys of farms and hillsides, macadamia fields, fruit groves and open pastures. Small children can ride with their parents or our guide.
