This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy just in one day the Costa Rica's highlights.

Then, we begin our assent to the Poás Volcano National Park where you will enjoy an authentic cup of Costa Rican coffee accompanied by a tropical breakfast. On a clear day the view of the main crater is admired by all visitors, its diameter is considered one of the widest in the world. Later, you will do a quick hike on a trail, which will leads us to the Botos Lagoon (an extinct crater).

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.
