Private Poas Volcano and Starbucks Coffee Tour from San Jose
Immerse yourself in the world of premium coffee and witness the staggering geothermal power of an active volcano on this exclusive private day trip from San José. Your scenic journey winds upward into the fertile Alajuela highlands, taking you past rolling dairy farms, vibrant flower nurseries, and strawberry plantations. Along the way, you'll sample rich local flavors, including a traditional prestiño pastry drizzled with pure sugar mill syrup. At the Poás Volcano National Park, your guide will lead you to the edge of the colossus's main crater—one of the largest in the world, stretching 1.7 km wide—to marvel at the boiling, highly acidic Laguna Caliente and its active fumaroles. The journey continues to Hacienda Alsacia, the only Starbucks property in the world dedicated to coffee research and experimental sustainable farming, where you will explore the fascinating lifecycle of coffee and enjoy a traditional local lunch.
