Doka, Poás Volcano & La Paz Waterfall

We departed early in the morning for Doka Estate, a local coffee plantation, where we enjoyed a typical Costa Rican breakfast before visiting the plantation and roast room.

On the way to Poás Volcano, we passed more coffee plantations, flower nurseries, and strawberry fields. As we got closer, we noticed a change in temperature and vegetation. Located within Poás Volcano National Park at an elevation of 8,000 feet, the active volcano offers the chance to view its crater from the edge. Unfortunately, visibility was nonexistent that day, as we were surrounded by clouds.

La Paz Waterfall Gardens Nature Park is the most visited privately-owned ecological attraction in Costa Rica, known for its famous five waterfalls. It also has the largest animal sanctuary in the country, housing over 100 species. The park features 3.5 km of cloud and rainforest trails, as well as a butterfly observatory, hummingbird garden, serpentarium and frog exhibit.Læs mere
