From San Jose: Private Poás Volcano & Surroundings Day Trip

Explore Poás Volcano and its unique ecosystem with a private guide. Choose from attractions like La Paz Waterfall Gardens, Rescate Wildlife Rescue Center, and Starbucks Coffee Plantation.
Embark on a luxurious day trip from San Jose and venture off the beaten path to discover the wonders of Poás Volcano and its surroundings. Your private guide will lead you to the active stratovolcano, where you'll witness its majestic crater and the unique ecosystem that thrives around it. Due to volcanic activity, entrance to the crater is restricted and requires a reservation, allowing for a maximum of 15 minutes at the site.

After exploring Poás Volcano, customize your adventure by choosing from several nearby attractions. Visit the La Paz Waterfall Gardens, home to over five stunning waterfalls, vibrant butterflies, playful monkeys, and various other wildlife. If you prefer, you can simply stop by the last waterfall, which is visible from the street and offers excellent photo opportunities.

Next, immerse yourself in the natural environment of Costa Rica's wildlife at the Rescate Wildlife Rescue Center. Capture memorable photos of the diverse animals sheltered here. Alternatively, explore the artisanal town of Sarchí, famous for its handcrafted wooden souvenirs and colorful folklore paintings. Watch local artisans at work and perhaps purchase a unique memento.

For coffee enthusiasts, a visit to the Hacienda Alsacia Starbucks Coffee Farm is a must. Enjoy a guided tour of the plantation, or simply relax on the farm's terrace with a cup of coffee, taking in the breathtaking views of the plantations and a nearby waterfall.

Conclude your day with a visit to the Province of Alajuela.
