Poas Volcano & Starbucks Coffee Tour
Private Tour from San Jose

Poas Volcano and Stabucks Tour Description:

Your breath-taking, adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel and a relaxing private drive through the wonderful Costa Rican countryside on an air-conditioned transportation and recent model deluxe vehicle or minibus. You will be heading to Alajuela Province and them the Volcano, about 90-minute drive from San Jose.

On the way, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the countryside with multiple Dairy Farms, Tropical Flowers Nurseries, Strawberries Plantations, Cheese Factories, picturesque souvenir stores and small local vendors. Taste the local flavors and give yourself a chance to try a Prestiño, a very traditional tin pastry cover with a special typical syrup made in the sugar mills.

Once at Poas Volcano National Park, the visit to the crater will be in small groups accompanied with a park ranger and for only 30 minutes per group for security reasons.

Poas is an active volcano, that has erupted 40 times since 1828. It has an elevation of 2.708 meter above sea level (8.885 feet). There are two crater lakes near the summit. The northern lake is known as the Laguna Caliente (“hot lagoon”) and is located at a height of 2,300 m in a crater approximately 1.7 km wide and 290–300 m deep. It is one of the world’s most acidic lakes and possible the largest crater in the world. Lake Botos, the southern lake, fills an inactive crater, which last erupted in 7500 BC. It is cold and clear and is surrounded by a cloud forest within the National Park boundaries.

Poas Volcano National Park is the most visited one by locals and international tourist from all over the world.

After the visit to Poas Volcano, a short and scenic 20-minute drive along the mountains of the central volcanic range, you will arrive at Hacienda Alsacia, the only Starbucks property in the world dedicated to the production of coffee and for experimental purposes to spread new knowledge of this wonderful plant.

Experience the miraculous journey of coffee at our immersive new Visitor Center. Get a hands-on look at a working tree nursery, wet mill, drying patio and roaster. See what we’re doing to empower farmers, promote sustainable practices and develop the next generation of coffee.

Arabica beans were first introduced to Costa Rica in the 1700s. Today coffee is an important part of the country’s economy. To help ensure the future of coffee, the mission of Hacienda Alsacia is clear: Create best practices to make growing coffee more profitable for small-scale farms; develop the next generation of disease-resistant, high-quality coffee; and share information and resources freely with farmers around the world.

During this 90-minute tour you will learn all about this and taste a special Costa Rican cup of coffee & snack at the beautiful cafeteria. After the tour, return to your hotel in San Jose.
