You'll be able to take a look of “Los Teñideros” of the Rio Celeste, the site where two streams of crystalline water come together and form the heavenly color blue that gives the river its name.

    We had the best day with our guide Fernando, he was upbeat and full of information the whole way. We were able to stop a a local bakery for some of the best coffee I have ever had. The hike was fairly easy to moderate with beautiful sites and lunch was a delicious buffet of local cuisine. Swimming in the blue river was a great way to end the tour! Also shout out to William our driver for handling the windy roads like a boss.

  • Tough hike but really worth the effort!
