Excursions
One of Costa Rica’s most popular destinations, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, near the Poas Volcano, offers five stunning waterfalls and 3.5 kilometers of walking trails that wind past the country’s largest Animal Sanctuary and Butterfly Observatory, through gardens swarming with vivid hummingbirds, to the cloud forest, ending in sweeping views of the waterfalls. Other attractions include a serpentarium, frog exhibit, and bird watching areas . Friendly, knowledgeable local naturalists are your guides for this up-close and personal look at Costa Rica’s natural resources.
The Ark is an ethnobotanical garden nestled in the slopes of Barva Volcano. More than 1,600 species of ornamental plants and fruits from many regions of the world are found throughout the garden. An essential part of the experience is that interaction between visitors and plants. Currently the garden has five thematic terraces that offer botanical samples of plants with medicinal and edible properties, natural dyes, essential oils and the “milpa” or tropical edible garden. In addition to this, you will be able to enjoy the sacred garden, with a display of plants with psychoactive properties, the fruit trees garden, as well as the collection of ornamental plants and bamboos. The walk ends with a visit to a small tree house built on a large ficus tree. A six-course lunch in a restaurant with amazing architecture and beautiful views of the Central Valley is the perfect closure to this ethnobotanical experience. The food is prepared mainly with products from the garden, making The Ark one of the few restaurants with the option of farm to table meals.
