The French are known for many things and appreciating spectacular beauty is one of them. To prove that point, the renowned periodical, Paris Match, has published a list of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world and Costa Rica is prominently in first place! The magazine has chosen the amazing waterfalls at Rio Celeste to spotlight in their article and we have to agree- these are some of the most spectacular waterfalls that we have ever seen- anywhere!
Rio Celeste is such a beautiful and remote area of Costa Rica, that the waterfalls here are not on the main tourist route, but that is what makes them even more special in our eyes. The special color of the water where the rivers mix and the wild rain forest location make these waterfalls a very unique place in a country full of incredible places to see!
Rio Celeste is considered the crown jewel of the Tenorio Volcano National Park, famous for the wonderful trails, awesome hot springs and unique cyan blue color of the water. Several amazing hotels are in this area: the brand new Rio Celeste Hideaway, with its lovely private bungalows and the Celeste Mountain Lodge, with its dedication to sustainability and ecotourism. Either option offers the perfect place from which to explore this virtually undiscovered part of Costa Rica. You will soon discover what the folks at Paris Match just did- Costa Rica has the most amazing waterfalls in the world!
