IMPORTANT:
-This tour includes a moderated hike and stairs so at least some good physical condition is needed for the hike part. (Moderated Health)
-Not recommended for pregnant ladies.
-In the rainy season is very probable that the river will not look blue because of the rain. It can be green or even brown.
-Starting August 1st 2023 the government is requesting to enter the Tenorio National Park (Rio Celeste) a previous online registration of each person. For that is necessary the passport number, nationality full name and kids ages (kids range age is 2 to 12 years old), also the day of your tour to be able to get in the Park you have to bring the actual passport or picture of it in the phone or a copy of it, if not you can’t access the park and will not be able to do the hike and see the waterfall.
If you are not confortable with this government requirement please take a look at the next link, it is exactly the same tour but you don't get inside the national park so you don't have to share any passports information.

Only difference between the 2 tours is that you will go to the hanging bridges instead of the blue waterfall.
