The Tenorio is located in the province of Alajuela at 1,916 meters above sea level, divided by a picturesque valley known as Bijagua. 

The park has much to offer visitors: the beautiful Celeste riverwaterfall, small streams in forests, hot springs, and trails that take you to the Mysteries of Tenorio.

Once you arrive at the national park, you can discover the beauty of the rainforest and explore the waterfall, natural hot-springs (bathing is allowed), thermal mud pools, blue lagoon and a breathtaking view of the Tenorio Volcano. The trail (loop) is approx. 3km long.

The national park which consists of rainforest and cloud forest, is home to an incredible diversity of species including the tapir, wild cats (pumas, ocelot and margays), collared peccary and howler white-faced and spider monkeys.

The night tour is the best way to take a different look at the rainforest.  Many creatures in the rainforest are more active at night and some are best seen after dark night due to their bioluminescence.  At night, small details of the rainforest become emphasized, and the unique sounds and smells of the forest become more distinct. 

Our Guides will take you for around two hours in our trails.

We recommend you to bring your own flaslight.
