To begin this recommended tour, which should really be called Ten in One, we take
the Pan-American road to Alajuela, where we go by the Agriculture Monument, the
Monument to Juan Santamaria and the Mango Park. As we continue to climb to Poas
Volcano we go by coffee plantations, flower and fern nurseries and strawberry fields.

En este momento se hace notorio el cambio en la temperatura y la lujosa vegetación,
preparándonos para disfrutar los placeres del exuberante bosque nuboso del Volcán
Poás.
There is a noticeable change in temperature and vegetation, preparing us for the
pleasure of the exuberant cloud forest in Poas volcano, where we will have time
to enjoy the impressive main crater with its sulfur fumaroles.<
We continue our trip on the Caribbean slope, stopping to discover La Paz Waterfall
Gardens, a natural park where we will walk in spectacular trails that take us to
White Magic Waterfall, the most spectacular one in the area. Inside the park we
will also visit the largest butterfly observatory in the country home to a collection
of tropical jewels and the impressive hummingbird gallery. A buffet style lunch
is included here.
After lunch we will continue on the Atlantic slope and once we arrive at Puerto
Viejo we will be ready for a relaxing boat trip down the Sarapiqui River. Just sit
down and enjoy the scenery around you. During our boat ride our guide will unfold
for us the simple life of the people who live along the riverbank.
Before returning to San Jose we will drive thru unforgettable Braulio Carrillo National
Park, one of the most important tropical rain forest reserves in Costa Rica.
