Jungle Love Costa Rica Honeymoon Vacation

Welcome to the land of enchantment! When you arrive in Liberia, you’ll be taken to a romantic hideaway off the beaten path at Rio Celeste near the Tenorio Volcano National Park. With no surrounding towns, you’ll be at one with nature deep within the rainforest at a luxury style hotel featuring individual secluded cottages with private patios. You’ll have a free day to explore the hotel’s 3 Jacuzzis, pool, spa, restaurant, bar, and Armadillo Trail, a mile-long river walk ending with a refreshing swim in sky blue water! Here you’ll experience the absolute freedom of being surrounded by nothing but nature. On another day you’ll be taken on a guided hike to see the beautiful Rio Celeste Waterfall, and beyond to find where two rivers merge creating the amazing azure color. This is a 4 to 5-hour moderate guided hike with a few rest stops along the way as your naturalist guide points out the beautiful flora and fauna all around you. Because it’s a true rainforest you can expect some rain, but with luck, the sun will peek out and brighten up the mossy green forest shadows.

Next, you’ll travel over to the northwestern corner of Costa Rica where the Guanacaste shoreline is full of remote, untouristed beaches. A charming hotel awaits located on a secluded cove with powerful sunsets. You can walk right out onto the soft sugar sand beach and explore your own private cove together. Back at the hotel, you might like to cool off in the pool plus take advantage of the available spa services such as a couples massage out under the palm trees. Complimentary yoga is offered daily.

Now that you’re at the ocean, we’ll complete your seaside experience with a fun half day trip aboard a comfortable catamaran with refreshing drinks, lunch, an amiable crew, optional water sports equipment, and a guided snorkeling adventure. You never know what marine life you’ll see while lounging on the boat, but the waters are home to dolphins, sea turtles, and rays that leap right out of the water! One more day at the beach to savor your special time together before it’s time to go home. We hope your memories will last a lifetime.

Destinations

Rio Celeste

The amazing sky blue water of Rio Celeste has a long, mysterious history dating back to the 14^th century when indigenous peoples reportedly believed the gods painted the sky blue, then afterward washed their brushes in the river. Scientists attribute the changing color to a mixing of chemicals from two rivers flowing into each other creating one 9 mile ribbon of blue water cascading over a 300-foot waterfall. The most recent studies suggest it is an optical illusion formed by the reflection of particles when the two rivers converge. Whatever else it is, it is exquisitely beautiful, attracting those who are willing to make the hike into the surrounding rainforest to seek out the mystery. Alas, it is also elusive, dependent on current weather conditions as well. Best to hike it in the morning. View this destination...

Playa Pan de Azucar of Potrero Bay, Guanacaste

One of the more remote areas along the Pacific northwestern coast of Costa Rica, Potrero Bay defines an area of calmer waters with small unpopulated secluded coves. Pristine beaches unveil occasional tide pools in a smattering of rock outcroppings found at low tide. Playa de Pan de Azucar is one of the beaches within the bay area where visitors can find peace and tranquility plus amazing sunsets.

Rio Celeste Hideaway (Deluxe)

Rio Celeste Hideaway’s remote location makes it the perfect place to commune with nature. No nearby towns to distract, just the raucous cacophony of the rainforest with a ribbon of blue river magically running through it. In keeping with seclusion, the hotel offers separate private cottages, each with its own patio for nature viewing. Three Jacuzzi’s and a pool with a swim-up bar reveals the hotel’s hidden elegance in such an off the beaten path location. The Kantara restaurant serves upscale food and is open for all meals. The hotel also features a mile long Armadillo Trail on its property that runs along the river ending at a swimming area in the sky blue water. This may be the only place available outside of private property to swim in this river, as swimming is off limits at the national park. View this hotel...

Tours

Celeste River and Tenorio National Park Hike

One of the natural wonders of Costa Rica is the brilliant blue waters at Rio Celeste. The Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel provides a private guided hiking tour for guests who stay at the hotel. Your guide will take you into Tenorio Volcano National Park, where after a short upwards hike, you will see the beautiful 300-foot Rio Celeste Waterfall cascading into a turquoise pool. There are 250 well-constructed steps with a handrail you can use to go down to an observation platform located next to the falls for epic photos. After coming back up the steps, you’ll catch your breath before resuming your hike along the nature trails in the rainforest. You’ll stop for short rests at several more observation platforms until you reach the area where two rivers join, turning their brown waters into one bright blue river. Occasionally weather conditions can make it difficult to see the colors. You’ll pause for a fruit snack before returning to the park entrance. This is a 4 to 5-hour moderate hike through the rainforest that includes the park entrance. View this tour...
