Activities at Rio Celeste Hideaway


The eco system that surrounds the Rio Celeste hotel is renowned for its abundance of birds and animals, and the hotel can arrange trips to nearby wildlife areas and beauty spots. A glimpse of the famous azure waters of the Rio Celeste is a must; whether you’re traversing it on a whitewater raft trip or gazing down from the top of a hanging bridge. After a hard day’s hiking, guests can relax amongst the volcanic hot springs that dot the surrounding area.

In the know

The Rio Celeste’s awesome blue waters are due to the emanation of sulfur from the volcano and precipitation of calcium carbonate. Keep your camera to hand!
