From volcanic craters to cascading waterfalls—witness Costa Rica's most dramatic landscapes in a single, unforgettable day. Private service, your pace, your adventure.
Your day begins at 7:00 AM, ascending through cloud forest and coffee plantations to reach one of Central America's most active volcanoes at 8,885 feet (2,708 meters).
Crater Hike (0.25 miles / 400 meters):Follow paved pathways through mystical cloud forest to reach the main crater viewpoint. Stand at the edge of one of the world's largest active volcanic craters—nearly a mile wide—gazing down at a bubbling, sulfuric acid lake that changes from turquoise to gray depending on volcanic activity.
Botos Lagoon Trail (0.93 miles / 1.5 km):Venture to Laguna Botos, a stunning emerald-green lake nestled in an extinct crater. This tranquil hike winds through high-altitude cloud forest where you might spot fiery-throated hummingbirds, tanagers, and the elusive resplendent quetzal.
Recharge with delicious local cuisine featuring fresh ingredients. Menu options for both adults and children.
Descend into the lush embrace of La Paz Waterfall Gardens, a private nature park showcasing Costa Rica's incredible biodiversity.
