What you can expect

After being greeted by your professional biologist guide in our private 4x4 transportation, we'll embark on a scenic 2-hour drive to the National Park. Upon arrival, the temperature drops, the sun illuminates, and the scent of sulfur warmly welcomes us to one of the world's largest and most active volcanoes in Costa Rica

We'll revel in the breathtaking view once the volcano emerges, and explore the diminutive vegetation that leads to the extinct crater, now teeming with life. We'll marvel at this unique forest and the lush, verdant surroundings through the eyes of a biologist.
Later, we’ll visit a small, local artisanal coffee plantation, where you’ll have the chance to hand-pick coffee beans, learn about the traditional production process, and taste coffee made from your own harvest. This experience offers a genuine look into the most traditional way of producing coffee.
Then, we will navigate around La Paz Waterfall, taking in the stunning landscapes. We'll conclude the day with a delectable Costa Rican lunch, serenaded by the vibrant presence of hummingbirds and various other bird species.
