The highlight of this tour is the combination of attractive areas it visits in just one day, including the Poás Volcano, La Paz Waterfall Gardens & the boat trip on the Sarapiquí River, followed by lunch at our property in the Sarapiquí River Bank, KAWA-KAWA.

   The trip starts in San José and will take you to the Poás Volcano, traveling by coffee plantations and beautiful scenery. You will visit this volcano set at an altitude of 2,708 meters above sea level and one of the very few actives ones in America accessible by road. Afterwards, a stop for breakfast is made at La Paz Waterfall Gardens. These gardens feature over 70 acres of wildlife and forest to explore, and you will have the opportunity to visit the Buterfly Observatory and the Hummingbird Gallery

   Our journey continues to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí. Upon arrival, board a comfortable boat for a relaxing journey into the heartland of the Rainforest. During the expedition, be on the look for toucans, monkeys, iguanas, caimans and so many other species that inhabit the area. You will then savor a typical Costa Rican lunch, in a magnificent tatched-roofed "rancho" / palapa riget on the river bank. Offering serenity and mostly openness, here at Kawa- Kawa you will have some free time to relax and enjoy the river views before returning to San José.

   During the return ride to the city, you will be amazed by the breathtaking views offered by the Braulio Carrillo National Park, as we pass it by. This Park is almost covered with tall, dense and evergreen forest; it has been estimated that more than 6,000 different plant species inhabit this park, including tree ferns, plant trees, heliconias and bromeliads, among many others.
