From San José we’ll turn off the Pan-American Highway through the provincial capital city of Alajuela where we’ll stop to see 2 points of interest your knowledgeable guide will tell you about. Our drive to the Poás Volcano Cloud Forest National Park will take us up the slopes of the Central Volcanic Mountain Range by way of a scenic drive through beautiful landscape adorned with coffee, dairy, strawberry, flower and fern farms in addition to typical small towns with well kept homes.

POAS VOLCANO: At approximately 9:00 a.m. we’ll enter the cloud forest of the Poás Volcano National Park where we'll walk 500 scenic yards on a flat paved pathway to the crater, located at a cool 8,900 ft. above sea level. On the way your guide will show you the beautiful giant leaves of the “Poor Man’s Umbrella” plant, epiphytes (air plants) and other plant species unique to the lush tropical cloud forest ecosystem that lines the walk to the crater. From the crater’s rim you’ll have the unique experience of looking down 1,000 ft. into an active volcano crater that's nearly 1 mile in diameter and constantly emitting sulfur fumes and steam. The crater's colorful array of rock strata and aqua green colored acid lake together with the barren old lava floe rock formations all surrounded by tropical cloud forest gives your experienced professional guide plenty to tell you about.

VIEW & FRUIT STOPS: After leaving Poás around 10:30 a.m. we'll make brief stops with a fantastic high view of the central valley below, and later further down the mountain at a roadside fruit stand to sample delicious fresh strawberries, other local fruit and snacks safe to eat.

At the Doka Coffee Farm Tour you will have the opportunity to learn about how coffee is cultivated, harvested, processed and roasted while sampling top quality roasted coffee that you can purchase (ground or whole bean) straight from the oldest coffee farm in Latin America. This tour also has beautiful views of the rolling landscape of coffee plantations and of the Central Valley below.
