About this activity

Explore the best of Costa Rica’s nature, culture, and craftsmanship in a single unforgettable day. Begin with a visit to Poás Volcano National Park, where you’ll witness the dramatic crater of one of the country’s most iconic active volcanoes, surrounded by lush cloud-forest scenery and panoramic views.

Continue through scenic coffee fields to the Doka Coffee Estate, where you’ll learn about Costa Rica’s famous coffee-making process—from bean to cup—and enjoy a delicious lunch on the plantation.

Next, visit the charming town of Grecia, known for its beautiful parks and unique all-metal church, one of the most unusual architectural landmarks in Central America.
