Small lagoon of intense color, the indigenous people of the area believed that it was the lagoon of the Gods due to its intense blue color, currently it has a depth of 4 to 5 meters in the shallowest points.

They are fissures and cracks through which, at high temperature, gases from the volcanic activity in the place escape and can be seen up close.

Very cool! I really liked the food, the breakfast in the typical restaurant is good, the lunch was very tasty but above all I liked the river, from the waterfall the guide knew how to answer all my questions with confidence and the water temperature is a bit cold but very Refreshing, it is very good to swim in the river, it is incredible, I also recommend this excursion to people who like hiking.

Great tour! Mario was a great guide, very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Traffic kept us a few hours and he was so patient while traversing through it and driving! The tour was amazing from the food to the hike. Our favorite part was swimming in the Rio Celeste. It was a magical, once in a lifetime experience.
Make sure to bring a reusable water bottle since they don’t allow plastic on your hike.
