Please note that the total time allowed inside Poás Volcano National Park is limited to 40 minutes, in accordance with current park regulations. Visitors will have approximately 10 minutes to walk from the entrance to the crater viewpoint, where they can enjoy panoramic views of the impressive active volcano. Once at the lookout point, you’ll have 20 minutes to take in the dramatic landscape, observe the steaming crater, and capture memorable photos. This regulated schedule helps preserve the delicate environment and ensures safety due to the volcano’s activity levels.
It’s important to understand that access to Botos Lagoon is currently not permitted, as this area remains closed to visitors. Additionally, in the event of fog or poor visibility, there will be no extra waiting time allowed at the viewpoint—unlike in the past when visitors could remain longer in hopes of clearer skies. Therefore, we recommend arriving prepared to make the most of the time at the crater lookout, regardless of weather conditions.

Doka is one of the easiest coffee farms to visit near Poás, and the tour is very practical. They show every step of the process in the old, still-working mill, from the cherries to the drying patios. The guides know a lot about Costa Rican coffee varieties like Caturra and Catuai, and you can taste several roasts at the end. The place is simple, authentic, and very well organized. If you’re into this kind of experience, our channel is called Spotlight To Me.
A friend recommended that we stop by this plantation and we are so glad we had time for the tour. We started and finished with samples of tasty coffee and chocolates. The tour included a balance of farming practices and coffee processing; starting with seedlings, moving through adult plants, and finishing with the processing of coffee beans. The grounds are beautiful and the butterfly garden is a bonus. This is about a 30 minute drive from the SJO area and it is well worth the trip (even if you were not going to do the tour and opted for coffee tasting in the shop).
This is a wonderful tour. Very informative and interesting. The grounds are impeccably kept and easy to walk around. The coffee is very good. Opportunity to taste each one. Gives a whole new prospective on the cup of coffee I drink everyday.
I did the basic tour and is great. Francisco, our guide, explain us everything with patience and clarity. The gift shop was a little overpriced but the whole experience is worthy. The people from Costa Rica is super nice. The tour was not expensive at all and covers all the pieces from planting the seeds to the roast, and of course the tasting.
We had a great experience on the Doka coffee tour, even with just the two of us—it felt like a private tour in the best way. Our guide, Jonathan, was fantastic: knowledgeable, engaging, and even sprinkled in some German, which made it feel extra personal. Despite the rain, the tour was still a highlight of our trip. We loved getting to taste the coffee, and the hands-on elements—like holding actual beans and seeing the equipment up close—really brought the process to life. Lunch was a nice bonus and rounded out the visit perfectly. Highly recommend if you’re a coffee lover or just curious about how much work goes into your morning cup!
