Description:
The true essence of Costa Rica in one day.
Today, breakfast at a local venue. After an introductory briefing, we are off to climb the mountains en route to the rolling hills of Doka Estate, a magnificent 350-acre coffee plantation, where you will be introduced to the world of Costa Rican coffee.
Award winning Doka Estate is the 2000 and 2001 Sintercafe recipient, and the 2003 Doka Estate Mill Costa Rica Historical Architectural and Cultural Patrimony award.
The highlight of the day, Poás Volcano National Park. Appreciate the active crater of this 8,884 foot-high magnificent natural amphitheatre. No matter how much you have thought of being at the rim of a volcano, this is more than you ever expected.
Then, La Paz Waterfalls will introduce us to an unknown world. Walking the splendid gardens, we find The Butterfly Observatory and the Hummingbird Gallery.
Never will you feel more a part of the splendor of the rainforest than hiking the trails alongside the river, and the most amazing waterfalls.
A splendid lunch, and we head back to the hotel.
