Day 1: Poas Volcano, Doka Coffee Plantation and SarchÃ
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch
Begin this Costa Rica tour with breakfast at a local café, followed by a trip to the Poas Volcano National Park. This national park is home to a variety of wildlife, including tapirs, coyotes, hummingbirds, and perhaps the wildest of them all, the Poas Volcano. One of four active volcanoes in Costa Rica, the Poas's steaming crater bubbles with life.
The afternoon continues with a tour of the Doka Coffee Plantation. Watch how coffee is picked, milled and ground, then sample the results! If you eyes are still a little heavy from an early morning, they are sure to perk up from the rich aroma and flavorful tastes of a hot cup of Costa Rican coffee. At this three-generation coffee plantation, discover first hand - or cup - what makes Costa Rican coffee so popular.
Finish your Costa Rica extension with a visit to the artisan town of Sarchí, known throughout Costa Rica for its beautiful and intricate arts and crafts and souvenirs. Sarchí is most known for the vibrant, beautifully painted oxcarts that have been made here for over a hundred years. Arrive back at the hotel around 5:00 pm - just in time to drop a postcard to friends and family back home!
This tour is approximately 11 hours.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).

What made our Costa Rica experience great was the wonderful places we stayed and transportation to get to our different areas to visit was excellent! The white water rafting and the snorkeling & dolphin watching were really fun!

Adventure Life took care of everything! All we had to do was show up when we were supposed to, which made our first trip to Costa Rica largely stress-free and incredibly fun. Our trip reps, Hannah and Mariethony, were helpful and responsive, getting back to us by email usually within a few hours. Our accommodations were all great, and we got incredibly blessed with some absolutely stellar guides and drivers.
Our Jungle & Beach trip was an excellent balance of adventure and rest. We got to try out a lot of different activities, including snorkeling, hiking, white water rafting and kayaking, while also partaking of some rest around the pool or by the ocean. We enjoyed seeing and exploring the beautiful Caribbean side of the country.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.

COSTA RICA a trip of a life time travelling round this beautiful country. All went like clockwork even when the weather was against us and all transfers seemed to be part of the holiday not a chore. Would definitely use Adventure Life again having previously used them 20 years ago!!
