Created in 1995, the Tenorio Volcano National Park is one of Costa Rica's best kept secrets. Taking its name from the still active Tenorio volcano, the park offers stunning river views, waterfalls, wildlife spotting and great hiking.
The picture-perfect and still active Tenorio Volcano reigns over one of the most beautiful regions of Costa Rica, Tenorio National Park. Hike to the volcano summit along the Lago las Dantas Trail which winds its way through rain forest to cloud forest. This region serves as home to Ocelots, Jaguars and Cougars along with Tapirs, Howler Monkeys, Toucans and Sloths.
The other spectacular sight is the vibrant turquoise waters of Rio Celeste created by the volcanic activity of Tenorio and the sulfur it emits. Costa Rican legend has it that the gods dipped their paint brushes into the river while painting the sky. A hike along this vivid blue river to its waterfall and a soak in several of its natural hot springs will no doubt, have you believing in the ancient legend.
