Visit the Capital City - This tour inmerses you in the rich Costa Rican culture and history by experiencing the beautiful museums and historical sites of San José.

The second day discover Poás Volcano, observing on the way huge coffee fields, dairy farms, strawberry, blackberry, fern and tropical flower plantations, then "La Paz Waterfall and Butterfly Gardens", and later we will take a boat ride at The Sarapiquí River. Next day we will visit a unique ecotourism and research park, and the Aerial Tram. At the Tram, visitors take a trip through the hanging gardens of the canopy (the upper level of the forest). On the Fourth day we depart to the Arenal Volcano Area.The Arenal Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the Americas.  In the afternoon we will be at Tabacón Hot Springs Resort, where you can relax in the warm waters. The next morning, we transfer to Monteverde for two days.

The Monteverde Area and the biological reserve are top tourism destinations. Natural history travelers made their way up the mountain, lured by articles, television specials, and word of mouth. It is considered a wildlife sanctuary famous for the golden toads, the resplendent quetzals and the community efforts to save tropical forest  based on the spirits of the friendly, peace-loving Quakers  who settled here.

After the Cloud forest, the next attraction is the Peninsula de Osa located at the South Pacific coast. At Peninsula de Osa  you can enjoy the  Corcovado National Park, five hundred species of trees, including probably the tallest in the country,  a ceiba or kapok tree that soars to 230 feet (70 m), also eight types of habitat; montane forest,  cloud forest, alluvial plains forest, swamp, palm forest mangrove and rocky and sandy vegetation and  Caño Island.

The island is interesting both as an archaeological site and for its marine life. Rising above the Pacific, the land contains tall evergreen forest a phehistoric cemetery and mysterious round stones sculpted by the indians who once walked here. Crystalline waters are the snorkeler's delight. Five coral's reefs, and at least 15 species of stony coral, create a marine wonderland.
