Rio Celeste y Los Teñideros
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Definitely a must-do experience. No guide necessary. It’s a long steep climb back up from the waterfall, but not a problem if you are in good shape. Highly recommend hiking to the end of the trail (past the waterfall) and seeing where the blue starts (two rivers come together and the water turns blu...

Árbol de la Paz
Tourist attraction
😐 It's big and it's a tree. It would go by unnoticed unless you knew to look out for it and stop. Can't say that I think it's worth a detour to see unless you're really into trees. There's really not much more to say.

Mirador Rio Celeste
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Go there. Yes, there are local buses that will get you 95% of the way...you do not need to go with an organized "tour". This is a hidden gem best found with effort.
