- Cartago - Cartago is located close to the Irazu Volcano in the Central Valley of Cartago. Cartago was the first real Spanish settlement and the first capital of Costa Rica. Despite this long and illustrious history, a succession of earthquakes has destroyed much of the city’s charm. What you see today is a relatively modern city. However, traces of culture and history can still be found. The Basilica of our lady of the Angels and Las Ruinas de la Parroquia are the most significant. Cartago is the perfect fallout base if you want to mix history with archeology and stunning natural sites.

Irazú Volcano is a National Park in the Central Volcanic Conservation Area of Costa Rica. The volcano is still active although the last major eruptions were between 1963 and 1965, with occasional minor eruptions and some small lava flows since that time. With our professional tour guide you will be able to explore the park and walk to the main lookout point.
The Crater Principal lake has an unusual greenish yellow coloring caused by rainfall dissolving the minerals along the craters walls. It has also been known to change colour to rust-red depending on the minerals present. The Irazú Volcano is the highest active volcano in Costa Rica
The way to the volcano is so beautiful, with many plantations along the way.

tour to Irazu - On Monday June 26, we went on a tour to the Irazu volcano with friends, classmates and the English teacher, the entire bilingual apartment was to learn more about the volcano and its interesting facts. The guide gave us an incredible service and very good information, we put our English into practice with the tour guide and with our colleagues, that helped us to speak more without being embarrassed. Something that we really liked was learning more about the pink pineapple that Costa Rica produces only because of its climate change. But amazing service.

School trip - In this educational tour we had a tourist guide who helped us to get to know the places we went to, which were the Irazu volcano and the Lankenster gardens, in which we saw a diversity of landscapes, firstly the Irazu volcano that was covered in mist very cold, then we were on our way to a crater called Diego de la Haya, we walked near the volcano where we could see the lagoon and a lot of ash from the volcano itself, the tour guide explained to us about the minerals that could be extracted from the volcano such as sulfur or iron , among others.
After that, we went to the lankenster gardens, we started with the green house of orchids discovered by different people in different generations of Costa Rica, we continuously went to the Japanese garden, the path was covered with bamboo trees with emblematic entrance to Japan, there were an oriental hut with a pond full of Japanese fish and a bridge to take pictures.
We went to the cactus garden in which there were a variety of plants with unique names, along the way there were a variety of ferns and insects such as golden-backed spiders. On the tour, many things were learned about the resident place of attractions, which is Cartago, where it is full of pastures, farm animals, crops of different types of vegetables and fruits such as potatoes, tomatoes, strawberries, bananas, and about their daily activities. .

Trip to Irazu Volcano anda Lankester Botanical Garden - The Tour was quite calm and beautiful, since the course of the trip the tour Guide explained or gave information about the places through which we passed on the tour. It was quite calm to be seeing the landscape and listening to the guide talk about various things. In the Lankester Botanical Gardens, there were many interesting spaces with plants that I did not know before and in the Irazu volcano you could hear the echo when you spoke.

School trip - On Monday, June 26 I had the opportunity to visit the irazu volcano and lankaster botanic garden on a school trip, what I liked most about this trip were the gardens, I thought they were an incredible place to visit with my friends and learn about the different plants that exhibit there, the trails were also my favorite things, since they are surrounded by nature and I think it's an amazing thing, Alberto seemed to me a kind person, I learned a lot about the volcano with the information he gave us along the trip.
