About
Explore the magical mountains with the light of twilight and at the BLUE hour, where the best light for photography is given (blue mountains time).
We will visit the pastures with cattle, we will pass through a river, through the forest, and we will take a tour full of views. The time is the peak moment for bird watching, everything changes! The light ... the sounds ... the air ... It could drizzle a little depending on the season, but it is one of the best experiences you can have. You will enjoy the best view of Orosi and if the weather allows it, the tour will be completed with a visit to the best viewpoint in the area, where you can observe the entire central volcanic mountain range of Costa Rica (Poas Volcano, Barva Volcano, Irazú Volcano and Turrialba Volcano) and part of the Tapanti National Park. In the viewpoint you will reach the Piedras del Alto, where we will rest.
When you reach the end of the tour you can enjoy how the lights of all the villages in the Irazú Volcano turn on and you can see the fireflies vibrate in the forest. Being in the open field is also ideal for appreciating the stars and the moon. They will love it !!
Finally we will descend to La Fonda del Alto (starting point of the tour) where we will taste a traditional Costa Rican dinner served in four courses (soup, salad, main course and dessert), all prepared with fresh and local products. The Fonda del Alto is considered within the Top 3 of gastronomic points in the Province of Cartago, according to the opinion of the travelers. It is a true traditional Costa Rican gastronomic experience!
