Full Description

The Poás Volcano Experience is one of the most rewarding half-day tours from Jacó and San José. Located inside Poás Volcano National Park at over 2,700 meters above sea level, this active volcano is surrounded by cloud forest and ever-changing mountain weather.

Morning visits are strongly recommended. Arriving between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM gives you the best chance of clear skies and better visibility into the crater.

This tour is also excellent for travelers with afternoon or evening flights from SJO — the experience can be completed well before midday.

COMBO TIP: This tour pairs perfectly with the Coffee Experience Tour at Hacienda Alsacia.
