Full description

Start with a pickup from your hotel and travel by minibus along the Panamerican Highway until you reach the base of the Irazú Volcano. Travel up the winding road through fertile farmlands where many types of fruit and vegetables are cultivated. 

Enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys. At the summit of the volcano, on a clear day, marvel at the spectacular view of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Next, descend to the city of Cartago and stop at the Virgin of the Angels Basilica. Discover this local pilgrimage site which has large vaulted ceilings and exquisite examples of stained glass windows. 

Continue the tour through the Orosi Valley, an area of magnificent natural beauty. Visit one of the few remaining colonial churches in the region and stop for a tasty typical lunch at one of the local restaurants. Finally, be returned to your hotel to complete the tour.

Punctuality, transportation comfort, overall experience 10/10. Edgar is an exceptional guide, he knows a lot, he is super cool, he drives well and he is fun. 100/10 for him. The food was delicious, the trip itself is worth it, however, I think the price could be more comfortable for the attractions and visits it includes. (Mostly free). Overall, a nice day.

Nosso guia Oscar foi muito atencioso, fez várias paradas para fotografias no caminho. Pudemos ver o vulcão Turrialba e subir até a cratera do Vulcão Irazu. Também conhecemos a Catedral de Cartago e o Vale de Orosi. Somente as refeições poderiam ser melhores. Eram poucas opções e não estavam muito saborosas.
