Ready for your most incredible blue waterfall experience in Costa Rica?
We are happy to introduce our second project: Blue Falls of Costa Rica – Nature as perfect as it can get and, indeed, the mother of all blue rivers in Costa Rica.
As of 01 February 2022, all waterfalls are accessible. You can visit: Tepezquintle, Las Gemelas, La Celestial, La Turquesa, and La Pintada.
Most beautiful
With the most beautiful parts already given to us, like the rivers, trees, and the layout, we want to improve the project in total harmony with nature or at least as much as possible. Remember that Rome wasn’t built in one day either, and all the above: Deo Volente.

Blue Falls – Light
The tour explained
Park your car at Catarata Del Toro, use the restrooms, and get your ticket. Then, we will start walking over the public road and cross a beautiful farm. Also, we will cross a river by a bridge until we end up in the blue river. Approximately twenty-five minutes till this point, and then:
1 – We will descend into the blue river, cross it, and walk towards the Las Gemelas. Enjoy this fantastic place; swimming is allowed, and pictures are necessary.
2 – We take a quick look from above at the blue rapids.
3 – Entering the beautiful blue pool, which offers the safest swimming opportunity, also for children of any age.
4 – Get ready for another fifteen minutes hike over a jungle trail and through a blue water canyon to the waterfall Tepezquintle.
5 – If there is time and energy, you can add the La Celestial.
6 – Going back.
What you can expect, what to bring, and what we supply.
What can you expect: beauty, three or four blue waterfalls, rapids, a virgin forest, and a beautifully secluded part of the river. Also, a blue swimming pool, mountains, birds, views, a beautiful hike, a workout, a good feeling, and happiness to be back. So let’s beat your expectations! If you purchased the combo, the next tour would be Catarata Del Toro, Costa Rica’s Ultimate Secret®.
You need to bring: walking shoes or boots, anti-slip tennis- or water shoes for the swimming part. And, or just old tennis shoes for the entire trip, swimming gear, anti-mosquito repellent, sun blocker, 1.5 liters of drinker water, snacks, and a camera.

Why is the river is Blue?
Why is the river blue? Well, it is optical. The water contains a mineral called aluminum sulfate that is bigger than average. And when the light (from the sun) shines on it, the water reflects a blue color. Read the study from the University of Costa Rica here.
