This colossus is the highest volcano of the territory with 3432 meters (11000 feet) above sea level, whose last eruptive phase includes the period between 1963 to 1965 with strong gas and ash emissions that were perceived throughout the country. On a sunny and clear day, both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans can be observed.

After the visit to the volcano, we will descend to the city of Cartago, the ancient capital of Costa Rica established in 1563 by the conqueror Juan Vázquez de Coronado, where a stop is made at the Basilica of the Virgin of the Angels, place of pilgrimage of many Christian Catholics, which is a tradition in force since 1635.

The next stop is the Lankester Botanical Garden, a research center of the University of Costa Rica, created for the protection and preservation of more than 800 species of orchids, as well as other plant species. In this place a guided tour takes place knowing the different sections, such as bromeliads, cacti, heliconias, palms, among others.

Then, we will continue to the wonderful and scenic Orosí Valley, surrounded by beautiful mountains, a variety of crops such as coffee, sugar cane, among others. On this tour we will visit one of the few colonial churches that still remain standing, followed by a delicious typical lunch at the best restaurant in the area.
