Hire guide to Rio celeste waterfall to know about plants, animals on the way. Other attractions nearby la fortuna waterfalls, mistico hanging bridges. Plan 1/2 day for each lots of walking. Steep climbing roads so drive safe.

Very nice aquamarine waterfall and lookouts with lots of stairs... A nice hike that we did in two hours. Go Early!
