We combined three tours in one: Poas Volcano, Dako Coffee plantation, and some Jungleland/Zoo excursion. The hike up Poas can be strength sapping as it is about 1 mile from parking to the crater viewing area, and the lagoon viewing area is another 1/4 mil. The elevation is what grabs your attention.

You can take a local bus to the volcano. Its a beautiful place to visit, with a lagoon and crater we saw the volcano. its suggested to go early to see the clearest, otherwise in the afternoon the clouds tend to roll in.
