Coffee Fields, Poas Volcano, Wildlife and Waterfalls

One of the great things about traveling in Costa Rica is its compact size, enabling visitors to explore varied terrains in relatively short amounts of time. Costa Rica is known for its diverse ecosystems, including cloud and rainforests, rich farmlands, cool mountains and hot lowlands. Today, I had the opportunity to experience all of these environments on my tour with Expediciones Tropicales. Dubbed the 4 in 1 tour, our journey began in the mountains above Alajuela, at Doka Estate coffee plantation, followed by Poas Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens, before descending into the Caribbean Zone, to the town of Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, for a tranquil boat ride down the Sarapiqui River. With an appetite for adventure, we set off at 7 a.m. with our trusty tour guide, Martin, for an action packed day that would end a full 12 hours later.
