Cruise offers to the port Puerto Caldera / Costa Rica
Caldera is a popular starting point for tours into the hinterland of Costa Rica. After a short ride you are already in the tropical rainforest. Especially nice: a tram ride to the mountains. On a length of 2 km and about a height of 20 meters, the visitor rides by open gondolas through the canopy of the rainforest. The main attraction for nature lovers is the National Park Manuel Antonio - here you can also watch with a bit of luck the rare bright red macaw. In the National Park Volcan Poas is the 2700-m-high active volcano Poas, with a crater diameter of 1.5 km.
Costa Rica is with its unique flora and fauna a real natural paradise. San Jose, the capital city is worth a visit. The ride takes you along the Panamerican Highway. Visit to the National Museum and the Museo de Jade, with a collection of Central American jade. The "Valle del Sol" offers good shopping. Sarchi, about 70 kilometers away from Caldera and nestled in a landscape of coffee and sugar cane plantations, is known for its handicrafts. The Costa Rican coffee is considered one of the world's best - you can be easily inspired when visiting a coffee plantation in the Central Valley. Quepos, Nicoya, Liberia and Samara are other interesting cities on the Pacific coast.
