Tours in Alajuela & San José

Most journeys begin in the Central Valley, home to Juan Santamaría International Airport in Alajuela, about 20 kilometers from the capital. Far from being just a transit point, this mild-climate region offers culture, cuisine and mountain scenery that deserve at least a day of your itinerary.

In San José, the National Theater, the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum and the Jade Museum reveal the country’s history and art, while neighborhoods such as Barrio Escalante are packed with chef-driven restaurants and specialty coffee shops. Around the city, volcanic slopes are blanketed with coffee plantations, where you can tour working farms and taste some of the world’s most prized beans.

From Alajuela you can visit Poás Volcano and its dramatic crater, combining it with waterfalls, gardens or highland strawberry farms. Alajuela and its surroundings also offer boutique and luxury hotels that are ideal for the first or last night of your trip. Our drivers greet you at the airport with a personalized sign, ready to begin your adventure in complete comfort.
