Itinéraire
Le volcan Poás est l'une des merveilles naturelles les plus emblématiques du Costa Rica. Le cratère principal, d'une largeur de près de 1,5 km, figure parmi les plus grands cratères actifs au monde. Les visiteurs empruntent un petit sentier de 0,5 km (environ 10 minutes aller-retour) pour rejoindre le belvédère, d'où s'offrent des vues à couper le souffle qui révèlent l'immense puissance de ce volcan actif. Tout au long de la visite, votre guide vous fera découvrir des anecdotes fascinantes sur le Poás : de sa dernière éruption majeure en 2017 à la lagune acide située au fond du cratère, en passant par la manière dont les gaz volcaniques façonnent l'écosystème environnant. Vous découvrirez également comment les scientifiques surveillent quotidiennement le volcan afin de garantir la sécurité des visiteurs, et pourquoi ce sol volcanique fertile abrite une biodiversité si riche.
Découvrez l'une des attractions naturelles les plus complètes du Costa Rica. Parcourez les sentiers qui mènent à cinq superbes cascades, découvrez le plus grand observatoire de papillons d'Amérique centrale et admirez les jardins des colibris, des orchidées et des broméliacées. Venez découvrir l'étang aux grenouilles, le serpentarium, l'exposition sur les insectes et la réserve naturelle, où vous pourrez observer des singes, des paresseux, des chats de la jungle, des toucans et bien d'autres animaux. La Paz allie cascades, faune sauvage et forêt tropicale pour offrir une expérience inoubliable.

Tour was absolutely amazing, our guide had so much information. Food at the buffet was huge and tasty.
The tour operator was on time in a new van and the driver and tour guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. It is a long ride to the volcano but was well worth it

Volcano and Lagoon are spectacular views! Part of the Waterfall Gardens is a glorified zoo, but the lunch was decent and the Waterfall views were spectacular. Highly recommend!
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the spectacular views of the volcano, the beautiful waterfalls, and the lunch during your visit. We appreciate your honest perspective about the wildlife exhibits as well.

This was an incredible tour that we would recommend to anyone that was not afraid of walking. We had a wonderful guide in Anna and a fantastic driver , Marvin. We managed to arrive at the top of the volcano only 10 minutes before the cloud started to fill the crater bowl. We feel very privileged to have seen it in all its glory before it was completely covered. The waterfalls were incredible and the buffet was very enjoyable.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an incredible experience on the tour. It’s fantastic that you were able to reach the crater at **Poás Volcano National Park** just in time to see it clearly before the clouds rolled in—those moments can be truly special and unforgettable. We’re also very happy to know that you enjoyed the stunning waterfalls and the buffet lunch at **La Paz Waterfall Gardens Nature Park**. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to your guide, **Anna**, and your driver, **Marvin**. They will be delighted to know they helped make your day so memorable.

Guide Pablo and driver Mario exceeded our expectations for the day. We had plenty of time at the volcano and saw both the active and historical vent locations. Pablo led us through the La Paz complex in a logical order to see all of the sights efficiently. The choice of this tour was a perfect one.

My experience was canceled. I booked the tour at 3:24 and it was confirmed. At 7:55 I received an e-mail that the experience was canceled. At 8PM it was too late to schedule a different experience.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the last-minute cancellation. Our team had arranged a vehicle traveling from four hours away to operate your tour, and everything was set to proceed as scheduled. Unfortunately, Route 32, the only road that connects our transportation to your pickup location, was unexpectedly closed due to a landslide. This made it impossible for our driver to reach you safely. The closure was officially reported by the authorities during that time, and you are welcome to verify it. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to receive this notice so late in the day. Please know that the decision was made only because the road conditions made the service impossible to operate safely.
Wonderful day trip from San Jose. The Pao Volcano was stunning and La Paz Waterfall Gardens we beautiful. Our guide, Maryi, was excellent. She shared a lot of information about the history and geography of Costa Rica and was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. Our driver, Jose, was great, too. I highly recommend this trip.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a wonderful day trip to Poás Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens. It’s great to know that Maryi’s knowledge and Jose’s excellent driving made your experience even more enjoyable. We’ll be sure to share your compliments with them! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another adventure soon. 🌿🚐
We three had a spectacular day with Mario (an excellent driver) and Margie (knowledgeable, charming and oh-so-patient). The weather did not cooperate but that did not "dampen" our spirits (even though our Poas Volcano group shot has nothing but an expanse of gray behind us) as we learned from Margie. The La Paz Waterfall Gardens were exceptional - a truly lovely botanical environment and the fauna were interesting and well taken care of (which is not always the case). Our buffet lunch was tasty and the rice pudding so good. And then there was the walk to the waterfalls - oh, my - they are lovely. And Mario and Margie were kind enough to honor our request to stop for strawberries to take back to our hotel. A full day outing that exceeded our expectations.
Thank you for sharing your delightful experience with Mario and Margie! We're so glad to hear that their professionalism and warmth made your day memorable, despite the unpredictable weather. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the beauty of La Paz Waterfall Gardens, the delicious buffet (especially the rice pudding!), and the stunning waterfalls. We’re also happy to know that the special strawberry stop added a sweet touch to your day. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures in Costa Rica! 🌿🍓✨
