We
take the Pan-American Highway towards the city
of Alajuela. In this route we pass throw the
Agriculture Monument, the Monument to Juan Santamaria
and the famous Mango Park. As we ascend towards
the volcano we stop for a brief explanation
on our golden bean, coffee, and then continue
our trip through fern, flower and strawberry
farms.
There
is a obvious change in the temperature and in
the vegetation. This is going to prepare us
for the pleasure of the exuberant cloud forest
of Poas Volcano.
At
the Volcano we will have time to observe the
impressive main crater with its sulfur fumaroles.
Then we will hike on a trail to the beautiful
Botos Lagoon that will allow us to learn about
the different ecosystems in the park.
We
will continue our trip towards the Caribbean,
stopping to see La Paz Waterfall Gardens, a
natural park where we will walk throw spectacular
trails which will 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 that remains a collection
of tropical jewels and the impressive hummingbird
gallery, serpentarium, bird house & frogs
exhibit.
Once
we have finished our walk we will set off for
a delicious lunch buffet and then begin our
return trip to San Jose.
