Coffee Tour, Poás Volcano and La Paz Waterfall

  • 6:30 am: Pick-up by your tour guide from the hotel.

  • 7:30 am: Go on a coffee tour. Costa Rica offers a combination of ideal conditions to produce quality coffee beans. Higher altitudes, fertile soils of volcanic origin, combined with cool climates and steady rainfall, produce beans with fine flavours and aroma.

  • 10:45 am: Visit Poás Volcano. It is an active 2,697-metre stratovolcano in central Costa Rica and is located within Poás Volcano National Park.

  • Noon: Explore La Paz Waterfall. In Spanish, it is known as Catarata de La Paz. It is 31 kilometres north of Alajuela, between Vara Blanca and Cinchona.

  • 3:00 pm: End of the tour and return to the hotel.
