Tenorio National Park is best known
for the beautiful
Rio Celeste, whose light blue waters are caused by the emanation of
sulfur
and the precipitation of calcium carbonates.
Tenorio National Park can be reached
by several routes. See Driving Map below.
From San Jose, take
the main highway to Ciudad Quesada (aka San Carlos), then to Upala.
Turn
left in Upala towards Bijagua, and follow the road approximately 30
miles
to the entrance of the Park.
Alternatively, from San Jose take the
Interamerican Highway to Cañas.
About 6 miles after Cañas is a turnoff to Bijagua. About 20
miles
past Bijagua, you will find the entrance to the Park.
