✨ Escape the Jacó Sun and Ascend to Mountain Majesty!
Tour Price: $190 USD
Leave the beaches behind and embark on an unforgettable full-day tour that flawlessly combines two of Costa Rica's most stunning ecosystems: the high volcanic mountain and the vibrant cloud forest. This excursion offers the perfect contrast of our country's natural beauty.
First Stop: The Stunning Poás Volcano Crater
Your adventure kicks off early with a scenic, ascending drive that takes you high up to the summit of the Poás Volcano National Park.
Elevation and Views: Upon arrival, you’ll feel the crisp, clean air of the highlands. You’ll be guided to the main viewpoint to witness the most anticipated sight: the immense principal crater, one of the largest and most accessible in the world.
The Acid Lagoon: Marvel at the turquoise or greenish hue of the hyper-acidic lake gently bubbling at the crater floor, encircled by fumaroles.
The Luck Factor: The visit is a race against time (limited to 20-30 minutes) to catch those precious moments when the clouds clear. It's a pure, natural adrenaline experience!
Second Stop: Paradise at La Paz Waterfall Garden
We descend from the cold peaks to immerse ourselves in the dense, lush rainforest, home to one of the most spectacular waterfall gardens in the world.
💚 What You'll Experience at La Paz (A Multi-Sensory Journey):
Waterfall Trek: Follow perfectly designed trails that wind through the forest, offering unparalleled views of up to five breathtaking waterfalls, including the iconic La Paz Waterfall. Get ready for epic photos!
Up-Close Wildlife Encounters: Explore the themed exhibits that allow safe and close interaction with local fauna:
Butterfly Garden: Walk among hundreds of vividly colored butterflies.
Aviary: Get an up-close look at macaws, toucans, and other exotic birds.
Frog and Serpent Exhibits: Learn about the fascinating poison dart frogs and the majestic snakes that inhabit our forests.
Included Typical Lunch: Refuel with a delicious and comprehensive Costa Rican buffet lunch (typically included) in a spectacular setting.
