Unique things to do in Limón Province

A tour to get to know nature and travel in Costa Rican public transport (train and bus). The plan is to get to know one of Costa Rica's majestic volcanoes: Irazú Volcano! Undoubtedly the central theme is to be able to visit the volcano and get to know its craters up close through a viewpoint. However, the idea is to take the train from San José to Cartago, where we will find you at the station, to walk through the city of Cartago, which was many years ago the capital of Costa Rica, where we will be able to learn more about the history of the Antigua Metrópoli. Next, we will board the bus to Irazu Volcano together (if you wish we can hire private transportation, additional payment). Once we are in the Irazú Volcano National Park we can see up close, thanks to a viewpoint that provides the park, the Diego de La Haya Crater, Playa Hermosa, the Main Crater and we will climb to the highest point of the place. We will visit places like the famous Ruins, the Basilica of the Angels, the Plaza Mayor, the Market and even the Old Military Quarter of the city. We will start the tour at 8:15 am and finish around 2 pm for lunch and return by bus or train from 3:47 pm to San Jose. What are you waiting for? Book your tour with The Company!

It is best to take this experience on your first days here since you will learn a lot about the area.

You will learn which beaches are good for surfing, which for swimming and which for snorkelling, where are the places where you can spot animals, where is the best Caribbean restaurant and where to go if you are craving sushi, and where to dance the night away. You will also learn about local culture, lifestyle and history of Puerto Viejo. Other things to note: There is aproximatelly 50 steps down to the waterfall, mosly small. Bring the water, sunscreen, mosquito spray, shoes/sandals rather than flip flops, water shoes and towel if you have them
