Eventually a delicious buffet-style lunch awaits us in the middle of the rainforest, at the end of lunch we will take a walk where we can visit three imposing natural waterfalls formed by the Rio La Paz itself.

A Great Day in Paradise!

I recently took this tour (11/12/21) and had a great day! Our tour guide, Donald, and his driver, Adrien, were wonderful and fully knowledgeable regarding the Daka coffee tour, the Poas volcano and La Paz Waterfall Garden. Make sure to wear a good pair of sneakers or hiking boots as there is quite a bit of walking, both along trails and up and down stairs. By the time we were done, we had walked almost 5 miles and the number of stairs was equal to about 42 stories! There was a gentleman who had a broken foot, and he was able to maneuver everywhere, so don't let those numbers deter you from taking this tour. I enjoyed the day immensely. It was a great day with a great guide and driver! Our tour bus was clean and in great condition. If you find yourself in Costa Rica and want to take a tour that has a little bit of the best things of this beautiful country and of the very friendly and accommodating people, you will have a wonderful experience on this tour!
