Description

Journey to the lush foothills of Bijagua de Upala, a serene valley cradled between Tenorio and Miravalles volcanoes, where misty rainforest and fertile farmland create the perfect setting for wildlife and world-class coffee. Your adventure begins with a guided nature walk along well-maintained rainforest trails. Over the course of about one hour, your naturalist guide helps you search the treetops for the region’s most iconic resident—the slow-moving, charismatic sloth—while also pointing out toucans, monkeys, iguanas, and other fascinating species that thrive in this biodiverse corridor. After the hike, continue to a working coffee plantation surrounded by verdant hillsides. Here you’ll spend another hour learning every step of Costa Rica’s coffee tradition: from planting and picking ripe cherries to hand-processing and roasting beans for the perfect cup. Walk among the coffee bushes, see the drying patios, and inhale the rich aroma of freshly roasted beans while your guide shares stories of local farming heritage and the role coffee has played in Costa Rica’s culture and economy. The experience is designed for travelers who want a deeper connection with nature and local life. Small group sizes allow personalized attention, time for questions, and great photo opportunities. Whether you’re an avid birder, a coffee enthusiast, or simply looking to immerse yourself in authentic rural Costa Rica, this tour offers the rare chance to combine wildlife observation with a flavorful taste of the country’s most famous crop—all in one unforgettable setting framed by rainforest and volcano views.
