Climbing the Poas Volcano (½-Day Guided Tour)

Other Motorcycle Adventure Tours

You have good street-riding skills and would like to take a scenic, as well as fairly easy, ½-day tour? This 4-5 hour ride takes you to some of the most scenic roads around San José with the final destination of the 2,704m high Poas volcano. Leaving San José over the famous Pan Americana highway, we soon pass the town of Alajuela to go onto smaller roads, winding through large coffee and flower plantations. As we climb the 2,704m high volcano, we enjoy beautiful views over the Valle Central (Central Valley) and San José. The final 500m we have to leave our bikes behind and walk to the edge of the majestic crater. You can smell the sulfate-fumes escaping the steaming crater and, on clear days, you can see the green lagoon deep down in its center. We go back to our bikes and after a short ride, we stop at a small restaurant for a coffee-break. Back to San José, using a different and very attractive route. The tour does not contain any off-road stages, however, good street-riding skills are required.

As in certain months there are increasing clouds in the afternoon, it is advisable, to get an early start for this tour.
