Santuario Nacional Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles, Cartago, Costa Rica A famous peregrination site for many believers, some of which travel for days or even weeks on foot, in a pilgrimage of faith, to the site. The Basilica has large vaulted ceilings and exquisite examples of stained glass windows, and is a must see. 20 minutes

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. And, at the very top of the summit, on a clear day, one can be privy to an unforgettable bird’s eye view of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. 90 minutes

Nice to be picked up at the hotel. We were a small group of 10 people in the morning and only 8 in the afternoon. Our guide Marco did a great job explaining all to us in Engish & Spanisch.
Our driver David drove us safly everywhere. The Lankester Garden was just amazing- a MUST for all orchids' fans.
And we had a woderful Lunch on a terrace with lake view. A marvelous Day!

Los destinos son realmente hermosos, el transporte es comodo y tambien son puntales para recogerte. Si bien al momento de realizar la reserva vimos muchas referencias y este tour nos era bastante accesible en relación a nuestros tiempos y dinero, esperabamos que como es un tour de un día la guía, María, nos fuera explicando detalladamente en que consistiria este. Lamento mencionar que nos sentimos bastantes lejanos de ella en todo el recorrido, dado que su actitud era displicente y muy poco cordial. Sentimos que más que brindarnos un recorrido para entender todos estos maravillosos destinos, para ella era un trámite que tenia que terminar rápido. Esperamos que tengan más suerte con el guía si deciden tomarlo.

We were the first to be picked up since staying near the airport, so very early start. Had plenty of time to walk around Irazu, then Lankester gardens, the basilica and cartago and a nice lunch in the Orosi valley, near a lake.
Would recommend without hesitation if you want to get out of San Jose for a day!
