  • Admission ticket included
We will visit Hacienda Alsacia Starbucks Coffee Farm, the only Starbucks coffee farm in the world. Located on the slopes of the Poás volcano, this estate combines agricultural research, sustainability and speciality coffee production and the beautiful Starbucks coffee shop of the world. During the visit you will learn how coffee is grown in volcanic soils and how each stage of the process, from plant to cup, influences the final taste. We will walk around the estate as the guide explains the coffee varieties, growing methods and work Starbucks does here to improve the quality and sustainability of coffee globally. The tour includes time to enjoy the panoramic views of the volcanic mountains and, if desired, taste a cup of coffee grown on the same estate.

Poas Volcano

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
We will visit Poás Volcano National Park, home to one of the largest and most accessible active volcanic craters in the world. From the main viewpoint we will walk to the edge of the crater to observe its impressive volcanic lagoon and the landscape formed by the geological activity of the volcano. The guide will explain the eruptive history of the Poás, its scientific importance and how volcanic activity has influenced the ecosystems and soils of the region. We will also have time to enjoy the views of the volcanic mountains surrounding the park and the Botos lagoon with its beautiful turquoise colour. Weather conditions can change rapidly in this high mountain area, making each visit a unique experience on one of Costa Rica’s most iconic volcanoes.

La Paz Waterfall

We will stop to take in the breathtaking La Paz Falls, one of the most iconic waterfalls in the Poás volcano region. From the viewpoint you can watch the river rush between rock formations and lush vegetation, creating one of the most photographed natural landscapes in the area. The guide will explain how the volcanic activity of the Poás has shaped this landscape and how the rivers that rise in its mountains feed these waterfalls. We will have time to enjoy the view, take pictures and appreciate the rainforest surrounding the waterfall. This stop allows you to discover another side of the Poás volcanic ecosystem, where water, mountains and vegetation create a truly spectacular natural scenery.

San Fernando Waterfall
