Alajuela: The Highland Heart of Costa Rica

Beyond the bustle of the international airport lies the true soul of Alajuela—a region of dramatic volcanic peaks, lush cloud forests, and fertile coffee plantations. This is the authentic heartland of Costa Rica, where you can stand on the rim of an active volcano in the morning and soak in geothermal rivers by afternoon. We design journeys here to immerse you in the powerful forces of nature and the rich, warm culture of the Central Valley.

The Alajuela Experience: Imagine the thrill of watching steam plume from the vast crater of the Poás Volcano, followed by a gourmet coffee tasting at a world-famous estate. Your day culminates with a multi-course culinary masterpiece under the stars at an exclusive lodge. Alajuela offers a captivating blend of raw nature and refined comfort, all within a breathtaking highland setting.
