Spend a day exploring Costa Rica's rich wildlife on this tour to a coffee plantation, waterfall, and volcanic lagoon from San Jose. After learning how coffee is harvested and roasted on a coffee farm tour, head to Poas Volcano National Park and La Paz Waterfall Gardens for a chance to see animals like birds, butterflies, and monkeys in their beautiful natural habitats.

You will pick up at your hotel in San Jose to enjoy a trip to Puerto Viejo, in the caribbean side of Costa Rica. Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a small coastal town on the Caribbean sea surrounded by the lush tropical rainforest, gorgeous white sand beaches, and a huge array of different wildlife. With a mixture of Afro Caribbean, Bri Bri Indigenous, Ticos, Americans, and Europeans alike, Puerto Viejo offers a diverse and multicultural vibe. Famous for its ‘Go Slow’ attitude, you won’t find a more laid-back town in Costa Rica

Cahuita National Park is a great place to see wildlife in its natural environment. It also offers wonderful snorkeling opportunities, as the protected reef just off the park’s coastline is home to many coral and marine species. Diving is also a very popular activity in the area, with a range of different dive sites. Another wildlife opportunity not to be missed is the Jaguar Rescue Center, a non-profit foundation rehabilitating mistreated, injured, and/or confiscated animals, which are then reintroduced to their natural habitat in protected areas.
