About the tour Four in ONE
We begin our journey driving by the monument "El Agricultor" and the Juan Santamaria International Airport. During the drive you will begin to feel at home in Costa Rica as we enter the City of Alajuela, with the second largest population in the country. The city of Alajuela is proud to display the monument of our National Hero "Juan Santamaria". While appreciating the history of the monument, not far away is the well-known park of "Los Mangos" and the old military headquarters which has been transformed into a museum and school of technical teaching.As we continue our drive north, we begin to observe the vast difference between the construction of city homes to the ones that encompass the green countryside. These homes are surrounded by strawberry farms, huge ferns, and flower plantations, which compliment the massive coffee fields.
We now begin our assent to the national park where we will soon relax and enjoy an authentic cup of Costa Rican coffee accompanied by a delicious tropical breakfast. You will feel a change in temperature and the lush vegetation becomes apparent, preparing us for the pleasures of the exuberant cloud forest of the Poás Volcano. On a clear day the view of the main crater is admired by all visitors, with its diameter is considered one of the widest in the world. After this we will enjoy a quick hike on a trail which leads us to the Botos Lagoon (an extinct crater), where many different ecosystems exist and where some of the many species of flora and fauna of this cloud forest can be observed. After leaving the National Park we will be able to observe some dairy farms which have become the pride of Costa Ricans, due to the quality and the rich tasting products that are currently being exported to several other Latin American countries.
As
we continue towards the Caribbean zone, we will stop to discover La Paz
Waterfall Gardens, a Nature Park where we will walk on the truly
spectacular trails that will lead us to Magia Blanca Falls (the largest
and the most spectacular of the falls in the area). At the Park you
will also witness the largest enclosed butterfly observatory in the
world with a beautiful collection of tropical jewels. After a terrific
lunch we will continue to Sarapiqui? and on our way we come across the
La Paz Waterfall, where we take some time to enjoy the splendid view.
Less than a mile away we will encounter yet another waterfall
surrounded by virgin forest, which becomes a great photo opportunity.
As our journey continues we have the pleasure of observing the unique
characteristics of the Atlantic area. We come across quaint towns and
farmhouses that are encompassed by beautiful pineapple, yuca, coco, and
heart of palm plantations. One could never miss the tropical plants
that enhance this picturesque view. Once we arrive at Puerto Viejo
(Old Port), we will be ready to enjoy a relaxing boat ride on the
Sarapiqui? River, just sit back and observe the wildlife that is around
you. The monkeys, iguanas, crocodiles, and the variety of birds will
allow you to relax and concentrate on the scenery. During the boat
ride our guide will also explain to us about life style of the friendly
people that live at the river margins. Before returning to San Jose
