We
take the Pan-American Highway South, to start
ascending the large “Irazu”. The winding road
travels through fertile lands cultivated with
all kinds of vegetables as we observe a lovely
panoramic view. On the top of the volcano you
can observe the main craters and on a clear
day both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans can
be seen.
As
we descend to the city of Cartago we will stop
at the Virgin of the Angels church that according
to religious custom is a peregrination site
for many believers. After visiting the Church
we will stop at Lankester Gardens, a University
of Costa Rica Institute for investigation. This
place protects more than 800 species of orchids,
bromeliads and countless species of other plants.
We
will continue on to Orosi Valley where the creation
overflows in an unparallel beauty. We will be
able to visit one of the few remaining colonial
churches and stop for lunch in one of the local
restaurants.
During
our tour we will be able to observe “La Casa
del Soñador” an example of Costa Rican primitive
art.
