Discover the Majesty of Irazú Volcano & the Beauty of the Botanical Gardens
Our journey to Irazú Volcano National Park begins with breathtaking panoramic views as we ascend toward Costa Rica’s highest volcano. At an impressive 3,432 meters (11,260 feet) above sea level, this natural wonder offers a surreal landscape of volcanic craters and sweeping vistas. If we’re lucky, we may spot coatis and hummingbirds fluttering among the vibrant flowers that thrive in this unique ecosystem.
From the accessible parking area, a 300-meter (984-foot) paved trail leads us to the main crater viewpoint, where we’ll take time to appreciate the awe-inspiring scenery while learning about the park’s fascinating geology, history, and diverse vegetation.
After soaking in the magic of Irazú, we make a scenic stop along the way to capture stunning photos of the valley below. And, of course, no visit to this region is complete without tasting freshly picked strawberries, a local delight!
We then head to a charming, fully accessible restaurant, where a delicious traditional Costa Rican lunch awaits.
Our afternoon is spent exploring the exquisite Botanical Gardens, a true paradise for nature lovers. Strolling along the completely accessible paths, you'll be surrounded by an explosion of color from thousands of exotic plants and orchids—more than 15,000 species, including nearly 1,000 native to Central America! This lush sanctuary also showcases plants from tropical regions all over the world, making it a mesmerizing experience for any plant enthusiast. The gardens also offer accessible restrooms and a cozy café, where you can enjoy a refreshing snack before we return.
