X5H4+52H Volcán Irazú-SINAC National Park, Oreamuno de, Provincia de Cartago, Cartago, Costa Rica The tour will begin with us trekking south along the Panamerican Highway until we reach the base of the behemoth “Iztaru” (a name of an indigenous village that was situated on the flanks of the volcano, and a likely candidate as a possible origin for the current name of the Irazu Volcano).
The winding road traverses fertile lands in which all types and forms of vegetation are cultivated, all the while affording us a spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding hills and valleys.

Un tour bastante comodoro originalmente pensaba que subiríamos a pie al volcán irazú y en realidad fue en una camioneta muy cómoda, vistas naturales preciosas nos tocó ver tres quetzales. Mi hermana estuvo encantada con la visita a la iglesia. Y para mí fue increíble la visita al jardín Lankester con la colección enorme que tienen de orquídeas. Culminamos con una comida en una finca de cafetal y la comida estuvo increíble. Muy recomendable

A good organised tour. The pickup at the hotel was on time. The bus was clean and comfortable. Our driver, David, made sure that we were on time, but safe at our destinations. The tour guide, Donald, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I found out alot about the history, geography and botany of Costa Rica.
All the sites that we visited were great, but I found the Irazu volcano the most exciting.
And the lunch during the trip was great, as well.
I can only recomend this tour.
