Definitely come here vs the main park. You can actually get in the water. Our family had a great time !
The water is beautiful. If you throw some fruit in the water fish will swim up and eat it. We had a great time. The water is cold at first, but great once you get in.
Absolutely beautiful! Easy to park and descend from the bridge to swim or just sit on the rooms. It's divine!
Nice place to swim. Be careful with water flow it can be strong at some points. Water shoes are nice but not necessary.
Great place to refresh after the Rio Celeste park.
Just park your car on the side of the road and swim in the insanely blue water.
You can enter from both sides of the bridge.
It is not actually a pool, just a save place to enter the river

Relatively short walk from the National park so if it hasn't rained you can come here and actually swim in the blue waters. If it has been raining allot then it will look like a normal stream.

Hike to waterfall wasn't too bad until the steps down to waterfall. Steep and 2 person wide but worth it!!! Water drinkable for anyone right at park sign. Saw some venomous snakes and butterfly along the way.
Beautiful place for hiking... just to clarify you can't swim inside the Pational Park, but is so worth it the amazing views!
Beautiful location only 1km from the entrance to Rio Celeste and Tenerio Volcano National Park.
There is easy access to the river just under neath the bridge. We took a few minutes to snap some photos and dip our feet in the water.
At the time of our visit, there was a local family having a picnic with their young children.
I would not make a specific trip to visit this location on its own, but it is definitely worth stopping for a few minutes on the way to visiting the National Park up the road.

Since visitors are not allowed to swim in the national park, here is the perfect spot for a swim, chillax and mingle with the locals. We arrived here at 945am when there was basically no one, so you’ll be able to take lots of good photos and enjoy the river yourself. By the time we left around noon, there are already a lot of people. Loved it so much!
Beautiful little place to stop and relax and actually swim. Not overly crowded lots of little areas to sit and relax for a bit. Parking just off the side of the road. No fees. Definitely pop by even if you have gone to the park. Being able to dip into this water is a magical feeling.
