Celeste River Waterfall

Twin rivers escape from springs underneath the Tenorio Volcano, their clear waters twist away down the valley through the Tenorio National Park. As the rivers merge, their waters churn into a fluorescent blue; a chemical reaction caused by the crystallization of copper sulfate, colloidal silica and sulfur.
