In the Arenal Volcano area, you’ll also have the chance to relax in the thermal, healing waters at Tabacon Hot Springs, heated by the magma found in the earth’s core. Near San José, you’ll visit Doka Estate, one of Costa Rica’s premium coffee plantations, and Poás Volcano, the largest active crater in the world with frequent geyser-like eruptions. Here, a walk along the trails leads you through cloud forests filled with stunted and twisted vegetation from the volcanic emissions and cold, windy, high-altitude habitat.
