Full Day Tour

Eco-tour/Sightseeing/Hiking/Culture

Chills and thrills. Your journey begins from San José to the old capital city of Cartago. You will pass through one of the richest coffee producing areas of the country. From Cartago we continue to climb for 20 miles up the magnificent lush slopes of the volcano. The deep richness of the volcano soil is evident as you capture the brilliant green hues of the farmland reminiscent of Switzerland itself. The spectacular view, which awaits you from 11,300 ft. summit, will never be forgotten.

Imagine the anticipation of capturing The ¨Shangrila¨ of Central America. The Orosi valley is such a place admired the world around. The breathtaking headwaters of the mighty Reventazon River from the rain forest of the upper valley can be heard from the distance. The Cachi dam is a major source of the country's hydroelectric power. You will view the lost ruins of Ujarras, one of the oldest Spanish settlements in the country. The thundering Brides Veil waterfall drops 300 feet to the floor of the valley.
