A great all round day! Even though the volcano was not visible our guide, Luis, made it really interesting and helped everyone learn about the flora and fauna. The coffee experience was amazing and definitely worth the trip.
I felt this was a good way see multiple attractions in one day as a solo traveler. The trip was slightly different as we only stopped for breakfast. The coffee plantation was very informative and the guide did a great job explaining each step in English and Spanish. Unfortunately we did not see the crater as it cleared up after we had walked back to the van.
The waterfall and the tour of the farm were very good; it's a shame that due to weather conditions we were not able to see the volcano, but even so, the experience was quite good
This activity is a full-day trip. You walk along the trails of the Poás volcano, where you can observe local flora, and you reach the crater and lake viewpoint. If you are lucky, there will be no cloud cover and you will be able to see them in all their splendor. The guide did everything possible to wait for the mist to clear, but it was not possible. Finally, you visit a coffee plantation to learn about the cultivation and production of coffee. The tour is recommended for getting to know the surroundings of San José and the production of one of its most significant products.
Breakfast spot was great, but food took a long time to come out. La Paz waterfall stop was beautiful! Due to weather, we could not see the crater at Poas, yet we were expected to stand at the viewing area for 30 minutes in the cold and rain with zero visibility. I wish there was an alternative option. We made a stop at a touristy gift shop. Finished at the coffee tour. We arrived at 11:40am and were told the tour would being at 12pm. It did not start until 12:30, and didn’t wrap up until 2+ hours after. Although it was informative and neat to see the coffee plantation and production, it could’ve been shortened significantly. The tour was mainly aimed to convince you to buy their coffee at the gift shop at the end.
Great tour! Nice people. Well organized. Would definitely recommend. Great experience.
The trip was excellent; the guide and the driver were wonderful and very punctual. Perhaps the only thing is that I would have preferred to spend a little more time in the National Park to be able to walk the path more calmly and be able to listen to and observe nature better. I wouldn't mind spending a little less time at the coffee farm. But I recommend the tour!
Victor was a great tour guide! Although it was cloudy and we couldn’t see the crater, it was a great experience. The falls were beautiful and we really enjoyed the coffee plantation tour! Great day!
Excellent, recommended 100x100
Really good day tour that covers a lot. We were unlucky with weather so couldn't see the volcano crater but the waterfall and coffee tour were excellent and our guide shared some photos and videos he'd taken last time the volcano erupted
