Description
Indulge your eyes in the picturesque views of the Cartago Province farmlands. Experience a unique history and culture, shaped by the tallest and one of the most active volcanoes in Costa Rica.
After getting picked up at your hotel in our private 4WD car, head to the Irazú Volcano National Park where you can admire and even enter the crater of the highest volcano in the country. You will also be able to experience the unique miniature fauna and flora of Páramo, a tropical dwarf forest nestled in the highlands.
Afterward, take the back road to Turrialba Volcano. Here, visit the "Central Town" located at the foot of the volcano. Enjoy time to explore and take some photos of the eerily abandoned town, still filled with farmhouses and buildings. Next, stop for dinner at a family-run grill house for a traditional Costa Rican lunch.
Finally, before beginning the drive back to San José visit the Archaeological Site of Guayabo and its beautiful rainforest, declared a Civil Engineering World Heritage landmark and the most important milestone of pre-Hispanic culture in the country.
