Upon recommendations, we took a guided tour to Rio Celeste.
The park was quite beautiful and we saw a handful of animals, but the real draw to this location is the optical phenomena that happens when two rivers meet causing a chemical reaction that turns the water bright blue. You can read more about the phenomena
here, but it is cool.

After Rio Celeste we hung out in the town a bit – grabbing some coffee, and eating some food. The $2 empanadas we got from the local soda were awesome – as was the below pictured hot sauce mixture that reminded me of giodenara but less finely chopped.
