There are coffee and fern plantations, as well as flower and strawberry farms along, making a perfect scenery for your best pictures to take home.

Our first destination will be the Poas Volcano National Park, an active volcano. In 1828 was its first eruption and April, 2017 was the last one. The main crater of the Poas Volcano is wide and deep, with a colorful bottom. In addition,  you will enjoy the impressive sulfur fumaroles.
