Journey to the foot of the Poas Volcano, where you'll find Hacienda Alsacia, Starbucks' coffee farm, an idyllic place that allows guests to discover coffee and its origins in a new way. From bean to the barista and into your steaming cup, experience coffee hands-on, including a tour of the working tree nursery, micro wet mill, drying patio, roaster, and tasting facility. See first-hand the work being done by local farmers, learn about sustainable practices, then visit the cafe and enjoy beverages crafted with beans exclusively from the farm. Next, stop for lunch at a local restaurant to sample traditional Costa Rican dishes. Continue to Sarchí, located in the west part of the Central Valley, a scenic town and home to Costa Rica's best-known wooden crafts, traditional oxcarts in intricate and colorful designs. Here, visit Eloy Alfaro Oxcart Factory, meet skilled artisans, and shop for souvenirs. Return to port after this lovely full day adventure.

Special Notes:

Please wear light clothing, walking shoes, hat or visor, sunglasses and sunscreen and bring a camera. Rain poncho and umbrella are suggested.
