San Jose Tours
Home > Tours > San Jose > Irazú Volcano, Orosí Valley and Lankaster Gardens
pick up at your hotel in San José to start ascending the large Irazú Volcano. The winding road travels through fertile lands cultivated with all kinds of vegetables as we observe a lovely panoramic view. On the top of the volcano you can observe the main craters and on a clear day both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans can be seen.
As we descend to the city of Cartago we will stop at the Virgin of the Angels church that according to religious custom is a peregrination site for many believers. After visiting the Church we will stop at Lankaster Gardens, a University of Costa Rica Institute for investigation with more than 800 species of orchids, bromeliads and countless species of other plants. Then continue on to Orosi Valley to visit one of the few remaining colonial churches and stop for lunch in one of the local restaurants.
