Six acres of coffee fields, tropical gardens, and a traditional processing facility await you. Follow the journey of the coffee bean from the plant to a cup of gourmet coffee. Enjoy an authentic Columbian “cup of joe” at the end of that journey and look forward to an exciting and educational tour!

The heart of the capital city is La Sabana Metropolitan Park with magnificent views of the city and the surrounding mountains. Travel along with the Paseo Colon and happen upon the National Theatre. This architectural masterpiece dates back to 1897 and will transport you back to the colonial history of Costa Rica. It’s time to shop! Visit the village of Moravia, famous for the handicrafts produced by locals. Don’t be shy! Bring home a piece of Costa Rica for your mom from the large inventory of ceramics and fine jewelry. It will make the ride home from the airport at the end of the tour much more enjoyable.
