Exploring the city allows you to connect with the local heritage and observe the architecture that has evolved alongside the nation's development. This blend of urban exploration and natural sightseeing ensures that every hour of your eight hour trip is filled with meaningful discoveries and opportunities to learn about the local way of life.


Designed for comfort and convenience, this day trip utilizes modern transportation to ensure a smooth experience as you travel between these iconic landmarks. Whether you are standing on the rim of the volcano or admiring the colonial influence in Cartago, the tour provides a balanced perspective of the region's character. It is an ideal choice for travelers looking to maximize their time while enjoying the most significant geographical and historical highlights near the capital city.

This Park is amazing! Even before arriving, the road there is worth the trip itself! As with many other government parks in Costa Rica, you do need to purchase tickets in advance online. However if you forget or don't have internet access prior to getting to the park, there is free wifi at the gate. The park attendant will tell you how to connect to it and explain to you every step to get your tickets. The area is beautiful, all the amenities are spotless, the cafeteria has everything you need ! The views of the craters are exceptional! We really loved this park.

It’s has bern a very nice trip upward yo the volcano. Beautiful nature scenery and different vegetation. Majestic mountain views. Very beautiful to see crops and animals on the hill sides going up. The volcano site is nice. We even saw a fox coming doen the hill. The weather changes in a few minutes and clears up so that you can see in the crater. Back in 1993 you could still see the water in the crater, but this time we did not see it.

Great place. We got rained on really hard. They charge for parking on top of the fee that must be paid online before coming to the park. I would recommend rain jackets and warm gear, as this place is often cool due to the high elevation. The volcanic sand feels very nice between the toes.
