This culturally rich and fun day out is designed for guests who prefer the minimum of walking but who are still keen to explore this fascinating country. Your excursion begins when you are greeted at the port by your knowledgeable guide, before climbing on to your air conditioned transportation for a relaxing drive through this rich countryside. Along the way, your guide will provide you with fascinating information regarding Costa Rica´s culture and history, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions.
You will head to the stunning Doka estate coffee plantation which sits 4,500-ft above sea level and has been declared a 'Historical and Architectural Heritage Site' by the Costa Rican Government. Belonging to the Costa Rican Vargas Ruiz family, coffee production pioneers of more than 70 years, you will learn about the entire coffee making process.
Later, at the estate's delightful La Cajuela restaurant surrounded by the beautiful gardens and mountain views, you will enjoy a traditional Costa Rican buffet lunch. You will also have plenty of time to visit their souvenir shops and take home many special coffee products, before boarding your transportation for your last stop of the day.
La Garita, a magnificent botanical garden, is a colorful outdoor oasis featuring a greenhouse, ponds, plant nurseries and a bird area. A botanical expert will talk you through some of the amazing species of orchids and other exotic flowers before you board the transportation for the return journey to port, through more picturesque countryside.
