Along with the visit to the volcano we also made a visit to the cafetal 3 generations, we did not touch the tour of explanation in the cafetal because it was not season, however, Carlos Soto our Guide, gave us an explanation of the process and explained some data.
When we arrived at the volcano it was really very impressive the view and although it was cloudy and foggy there were times that could be cleared and you could see the fumarole from where the gases of the volcano were emitted.
Followed by the visit to the volcano we went to a beautiful place where we could enjoy a walk through an aviary where we could see toucans, macaws and several other birds, as well as see also felines like cougars and ocelots, after this we entered a buffet with exquisite food to finish the tour in the waterfalls of the place.

I had to travel to Costa Rica on a short trip to purchase a burial property. Unfortunately there was not much time. Thankful to the booking agent at Grand Hotel Costa Rica to let us know about this tour. It was very well organized, the locations were amazing and people were very friendly. Mr. Carlos Sotto is an excellent tour guide, very professional and knowledgeable, as he educated us about various plants, or specifics with respect to historical or geographical facts. I an looking forward to explore more tours in future. Majid Asgari

Excellent tour, in our case went to Cafetales, Poas volcano and Parque Cascada de la Paz, fortunately we were guided by Mr Carlos Soto, punctual step and his talk and knowledge of each area and part that we spent explained in a very didactic way, we took memories of this unforgettable experience, many photos of each place, but especially the friendship of Mr Carlos whom I recommend to take the tour with him, very friendly and with a lot of knowledge of the country
