Private Tour 7 Blue Falls Bajas del Toro Waterfalls from San Jose

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Before starting your hike to the turquoise falls, we stop for a moment in Bajos del Toro, a village surrounded by volcanic mountains and rainforest where nature dominates the landscape. Here, the earth has been shaped by ancient volcanic forces that gave rise to mineral-laden rivers and deep canyons hidden in the haze. The humidity of the forest, the sound of water and fresh air announce that we are entering a different, wilder and more authentic territory. Bajos del Toro is not a conventional tourist destination. It is the threshold to a more intimate, more authentic and less explored Costa Rica.

2. Tepezquintle Waterfall: The Start of Blue Territory. A Celeste River weaves its way between rainforest and Tepezquintle Waterfall marks the moment we leave the everyday world behind and enter a landscape shaped by ancient volcanic forces. Here begins contact with the light blue river that defines Blue Falls. In a private experience like this, the rhythm is leisurely and designed exclusively for you and your group, allowing you to observe the details of the cloud forest and understand how geology has given rise to this natural phenomenon.

   15 minAdmission included

3. The Twins Waterfalls: The Contrast That Defines the Place. The Twins represent an iconic point of the tour. Two parallel drops emerge between green walls, showing extraordinary natural contrast: one deep blue and the other vibrant turquoise. This contrast is not only visual; it is the result of volcanic minerals and unique conditions of depth and light. In a private experience, this moment is lived without interruptions, allowing to contemplate, photograph or simply be present. Here's the second big emotional impact of the day.

   30 minAdmission included

4. La Celestial Waterfall – Movement and Energy Two consecutive waterfalls reflecting the constant energy of the falling water. The environment becomes more intimate and enveloping. This point invites you to connect with the sound of the water and the natural rhythm of the place, aligned with one of the strongest trends of tourism today: travel to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with the essentials.

   20 minAdmission included

5. La Turquoise Waterfall: Sensory Immersion La Turquoise offers one of the most suitable spaces to enjoy water in an optional and safe way. Its vibrant tonality and open surroundings make it one of the most sensory moments of the tour. Here the experience ceases to be only visual and becomes physical : cool temperature, surround sound and volcanic landscape.

   20 minAdmission included

6. La Pintada Waterfall – Scale and Perspective From the viewpoint of La Pintada you can see the magnitude of the landscape and the strength of the water in its fall. This point allows us to understand the scale of the environment and observe the volcanic textures that characterize the region. It is a time of contemplation and perspective.

About San José

San José is Costa Rica's capital in the high Central Valley, a working city of theatres, markets and museums, close to volcanoes and coffee farms.

San José sits in a mountain-ringed valley at about 1,100 metres, where the climate is mild year-round. The neoclassical National Theatre, opened in 1897, is the city's finest building, and the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum and the Jade Museum show the artistry of ancient peoples. The Central Market, a maze of food stalls, coffee sellers and craft shops, keeps its old rhythm, and Barrio Amón and Barrio Escalante have grand houses and newer cafés.
