Discover Costa Rica's coffee traditions and artistic culture on this enriching countryside tour.
Begin with a scenic panoramic drive through the town of Sarchí. At the main square, take photos from the coach of the world's largest hand-painted oxcart -- a national symbol of craftsmanship.
Continue to La Eva Coffee Farm, producing premium coffee since 1860. Follow your guide on a walk along scenic trails to study the journey of the coffee bean from seedling to export. Learn how La Eva supports more than 3,000 small producers from eight coffee-growing regions.
Your tour concludes at El Jardín, where you'll explore a distinctive cactus garden and enjoy a refreshing tasting experience featuring tropical fruits, natural drinks, and Costa Rican coffee. There's also time to shop for locally made souvenirs before heading back to the pier with lasting impressions of Costa Rica's rural heritage.
