Irazu Volcano Tour
The Irazú Volcano (Volcán Irazú) is a stunning natural landmark located in the Cordillera Central, just a short drive from Cartago and San José. This Irazú Volcano tour offers a unique journey through diverse landscapes, transitioning from lush coffee plantations to vibrant ferns as you ascend the mountain.
At the summit, you'll be treated to a spectacular view of the massive crater, which contains a lagoon with a striking green hue, surrounded by dramatic volcanic rock formations. On exceptionally clear days, you might even catch a rare glimpse of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans from this vantage point.
Following your volcanic adventure, we will descend to the historic city of Cartago, where you can explore the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels (Basílica de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles).
This revered site attracts pilgrims from afar, some of whom travel for days or even weeks on foot to reach this sacred destination. The Basilica is renowned for its grand vaulted ceilings, stunning stained glass windows, and a rich collection of artistic carvings and statues, making it a highlight of any visit to the region.
