“This was a comprehensive tour of the top attractions in Costa Rica, and I felt like I had seen the whole country... continue

This is the granddaddy of all 1 day tours in the San Jose area, and what a super combination it is! In just one day, you can experience the very best of Costa Rica. This exciting tour immerses you in the full Costa Rica experience as you visit outstanding places of interest from the mountains to the rivers and it takes in all of the top must-see areas, including the Poas Volcano, The dazzling La Paz Waterfall Gardens, the famous Doka Coffee Tour, a beautiful boat ride on the Sarapiqui River, and a fifth bonus of an excursion through the incredible Braulio Carrillo National Park.

Your tour begins with a wonderful Costa Rican breakfast and a visit to Doka Estate, an authentic coffee plantation and one of the largest and most beautiful in the region. Over 90% of its high quality coffee is sent directly to Starbucks. See how coffee is grown, picked, milled and ground. Pick some beans yourself, sample a cup of coffee, and see why Costa Rica is so famous for its coffee.

Then, on to the famous and imposing Poas Volcano which stands 1.7 miles high and boasts a crater of over 1 mile wide. Still an active volcano, Poas is nevertheless completely safe for viewing. From the observation area, you can look directly down into the crater and be awe-inspired by the incredible sight of nature´s work in progress.

The next stop is to Las Paz Waterfall Gardens and Nature Park. There is nothing else like it in Costa Rica. Here you will discover one of the world´s largest butterfly farms with thousands of butterflies soaring freely overhead. With almost 3 miles of beautiful scenery, walking trails, river overlooks, gardens and towering waterfalls, you will be completely enveloped in the majesty and beauty of Costa Rica. During your visit, you will be treated to a wonderful buffet lunch with delicious Costa Rican traditional fare.

Next, you will enjoy a wonderful boat ride down the Sarapiqui River passing through plantations of pineapple, Yuca and Coconut, watching for howler monkeys, sloths and toucans. Your guide will give plenty of information about the unique lifestyle of the friendly Costa Rican people living along the river.

This is day full of the sights and sounds, and breathtaking scenery of Costa Rica.
