Lacking in activities,
The basilica of the lady of the angels was very impressive.
Lankester gardens very well laid out, unfortunately it rained rather heavy so didn't study the plants as long as I should have.
Lunch was nice.
The rest of the time was travelling .
Expected to be walking in the valley and getting insights to the culture of the area. So disappointed, not worth the money

En sí, los lugares visitados son muy interesantes, el restaurante muy rico y llenador con una vista espectacular. El guía, Martín, muy amable y divertido, se nota su preparación y su gusto por enseñar lugares emblemáticos del país. El chofer también muy amable y manejando de forma segura, puntuales. Me encantó el servicio como tal.
Sin embargo siento reducido el tiempo dedicado tanto a la Basílica como al Jardín. En la Basílica apenas se puede ver bien pero si tocara un día con más gente, no se podría ver todo.
Por otro lado, el Jardín de Lankester es inmenso, tanto en tamaño y senderos secundarios que te lleven a rincones interesantes, como por la cantidad de plantas. Si eres amante de las plantas, el Jardín requiere en sí mismo un día de visita.
Aún si sólo quieres conocerlo y recorrer con calma sólo el sendero principal si se requiere por lo menos media hora más.
Es una buena opción para una visita rápida al mismo tiempo que vas conociendo aspectos históricos, sociales y naturales del país gracias a las explicaciones del guía, que hace el recorrido más ameno.

Mauricio was an amazing guide!! The visits to various churches, the lookout point, and lankester botanical garden were great! I would have liked to see some additional sites like some of the ruins but this tour still checked off many of the places we were hoping to see in orosi valley
