Discover the mineral reactions that turn the river into an intense light-blue color where the Buena Vista River and Quebrada Agria River meet. These rivers originate from the volcano and their differing mineral concentrations create a chemical reaction between volcanic sulfur and rainwater calcium carbonate.
The tour continues to the “Bride’s Veil” waterfall followed by a visit to the Tenorio Volcano viewpoint. The experience ends with transportation back to your original pickup location in La Fortuna Town.
