This tour offers you the greatest variety of landscapes and
vegetation that you can see in one day. It is perfect for people on a short
break wishing to see the Costa Rican outstanding vegetation and scenery. The
day will be fast - moving and fulfilling.
On this combination tour you will experience in one day at a no rush pace what
is considered the most recommended tour in Costa Rica. After a delicious Costa
Rican breakfast we will continue our upward journey to the Poas Volcano, observing
on the way huge coffee fields, dairy farms, strawberry, blackberry, fern and
tropical flower plantations. At an elevation of 2704 m above sea level you will
experience one of the world´s widest active craters as well as enjoy a
small hike on the refreshing cloud forest of this National Park.
After leaving the National Park we will be able to observe
some dairy farms which have become the pride of Costa Ricans, due to the quality
and the rich tasting products that are currently being exported. As we continue
towards the Caribbean zone, we will stop to discover La Paz Waterfall Gardens,
a Nature Park where we will walk on the truly spectacular trails that will lead
us to Magia Blanca Falls ( the largest and most spectacular of the falls in
the area ). At the park you will also witness a beautiful butterfly farm.
After lunch we will continue to Sarapiquí and on our
way we come across the famous La Paz Waterfall, where we take some time to enjoy
the splendid view. Less than a mile away we will encounter yet another waterfall
surrounded by virgin forest, which becomes a great photo opportunity. Once we
arrive at Puerto Viejo ( Old Port ), we will be ready to enjoy a relaxing boat
ride on the Sarapiqui River, just sit back and observe the wildlife that is
around you. The monkeys, iguanas, caymans, and the variety of birds will allow
you to relax and concentrate on the scenery.
During the boat ride, our guide will also explain to us about the life style
of the friendly people that live at the river margins.
Before returning to San José we will drive through the unforgettable
rain forest of Braulio Carrillo National Park, one of Costa Rica´s most
important rainforest reserves.
