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).
We keep coming back to Adventure-Life for custom tailored, out of the ordinary, non-touristy trips and they deliver the best every time. The trip planners know how to put together just what we are looking for.

We had a great experience- they were very helpful in trip planning and making sure we got to do all the activities and see the places we wanted. There were some things we couldn't do/see due to the time of year being the rainy/low season and they steered us away from those. We had never been to Costa Rica before and it gave us a good overview of this lovely country.
