A footbridge along the hike to the confluence of the Río Celeste.

Here's how the blue happens:

The waters of the Buenavista River contain a high concentration of aluminosilicate particles, when those particles encounter the Low pH of the Sour Creek, the particles enlarge and reflect this brilliant blue color that carries down the Río Celeste.
Río Celeste in Costa Rica.  The minerals in the water give it the pretty blue color.  No filters or color adjustments. #river #rioceleste #costarica
Where volcanic minerals and water mix to create this brilliant blue water.
