Full description

Experience Costa Rica's nature and culture on this full-day tour from San José. Your first destination is a coffee plantation, where you'll learn all about the ancient techniques of producing some of the best coffee in Costa Rica and around the world.


Experience the careful process involved in the cultivation, harvesting, and roasting of the Golden Bean before tasting the delectable product.

After your coffee tour, continue to Poás Volcano National Park, where there is a noticeable change in temperature and beautiful scenery in a cloud forest. Climb up Poás Volcano, an active stratovolcano that most recently erupted in 2017.


The crater of the volcano is over a mile across and 1,050 feet deep, making for breathtaking views. Hike on a trail to the beautiful Botos Lagoon as you learn about the different ecosystems in the park.

Then, continue to La Paz Waterfall Gardens and enjoy a buffet lunch of traditional Costa Rican dishes. After lunch, explore the lush tropical rainforest. See the flowing white rivers, spectacular waterfalls, birds, butterflies, monkeys, and hummingbirds before returning to San José.
