Check out these Short Day Trips from Villas Aracari. Our property is located so you can have relaxing, non-stress days and still see some spectacular sights in the area. It's a perfect set-up! Including driving time, each option below will take approximately 4-6 hours or longer if desired.
1. Poas Volcano. Not only can you look down into the caldera of an active volcano, but Poas is also the easiest and most accessible spot to see cloud forests. It's also known for having the second largest crater in the world. It's only a 40-minute drive from Villas Aracari. We can help you get there on public transportation, give you directions if you want to drive yourself, or arrange private transportation.
2. Doka Estate Coffee Tour. Visit the largest coffee plantation in Costa Rica and discover the process of growing high-quality coffee. Have breakfast, lunch, or dinner in absolutely beautiful surroundings. Visit a butterfly garden and go shopping for souvenirs. This is only a 10-minute drive, and we will be able to easily help you with transportation.
3. La Paz Waterfall Garden. Travel to Costa Rica's most visited nature park and animal sanctuary. With lush rain forests and waterfalls surrounding you, experience the world's largest butterfly exhibit, see more hummingbirds than you can count, and look into the eyes of jaguars close up. And that's just a small part of what you'll see. It's a great educational opportunity! About an hour's drive from the CCG, transportation, again, can be easily arranged. The drive there is worth the trip!
4. Alajuela City Tour. What would a trip to a foreign country be without immersing yourself in the culture? Travel just 10 minutes down the mountain, and you will be in the center of Costa Rica's second-largest city. Enjoy one of the active town parks, go into numerous shops, or wander around the Alajuela central market. Or, if you are lucky and a game is scheduled, go see Costa Rica's oldest (and best!) professional soccer team play a match. Soccer is huge in Costa Rica!
