Rainforest & Wildlife

The adventure begins with a scenic hike through the tropical rainforest. Along the trail, keep your eyes open for sloths, monkeys, toucans, frogs, butterflies and the many other species that call this rainforest home — this is the tour for nature lovers who want to see Costa Rica beyond the beach.

Butterfly Garden

The experience continues at a butterfly garden, where you can admire a variety of tropical species up close — including the spectacular Blue Morpho, famous for its brilliant blue wings and graceful flight.

Traditional Costa Rican Lunch

After exploring the rainforest and the waterfall, we stop for a traditional Costa Rican lunch — a chance to relax and enjoy the authentic flavors of the region before the drive back.

Rio Celeste is more than a waterfall — it’s a full day of rainforest, wildlife and Costa Rican flavor, with your driver handling the whole trip door to door.
