About This Tour
We love to run this Experience since it feels like taking friends on a road trip filled with tradition and symbols that are characteristic of the costarican Culture: Volcanoes, Prehispanic cultures, Coffee, and Religion. Our guides are highly knowledgeable and will make you feel like family. We are constantly checking the weather and your interests to make this tour better fit your mood. So some stops can be added or removed depending on your choices, however, we don´t want to give too many spoilers ;) • The only Full-Day Cartago Province Tour that combines Nature, Culture and Archaeological Sites. • Discover the details of the dwarf forest at Irazu Volcano Crater, one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. • Enjoy the view and stop as much as you want to get great landscape, farms and rainforest photos. • A percentage of the earnings goes to Funga Conservation, a non-profit foundation. • Small-group tour with a maximum of 4 people ensures an intimate experience
Final price may vary. Check availability for exact pricing.
