Terranova’s half-day tours in and around San Jose are a great possibility if you have a few hours between flights, if your departure flight is late, or you’re on business and have little free time to experience the beauty of Costa Rica.

City Tours
The best choice to fully understand San José culture is a city tour. As you browse the capital’s iconic buildings and museums and visit the most beautiful or important places around town, your guide will create a complete picture for you of how San Jose beats as the heart of Costa Rica. Expect to spend some of the tour on your feet. Small, very diverse and a bit chaotic at times, modern San Jose is a walking city.

Poas Volcano
A fantastic opportunity to stand on the edge of an active volcano and peer into its simmering depths. The one-hour drive from San Jose to the crater is a trip in itself, a mosaic of rainforest, coffee plantations and dairy farms.

Coffee Tours
From the extremely entertaining to deep explanations of how the golden bean is grown and processed, various coffee tours explore the coffee-growing region around the Central Valley.

La Paz Waterfall Gardens
This outstanding nature park is designed so that people of all ages can enjoy buzzing hummingbirds, hundreds of butterflies, and breathtaking cascades. With a fantastic wildlife rescue center, the Waterfall Gardens is a great option for those who only have a few hours to experience the Costa Rican rainforest and wild tropical nature.

Ziplining
The Central Valley is surrounded by breathtaking cloud and rainforests and even a patch of dry forest recognizable easily in the sunny season. These amazing woods harbor some of Costa Rica’s best ziplining options.
