Add an Adventure Above the Trees — Santa Ana

For a more energetic outing, ask Hacienda La Chimba about its canopy and high-ropes experiences. Choose the activity for the people in your group and confirm age, size and fitness requirements with the operator. Book the specific experience you want rather than assuming it is included with hiking.

Contact a local host to learn about crops and daily life in the highlands. Ask which activities are suitable for children and whether anything can be seen growing during your visit.

Ask About the Copey Vineyard — Copey de Dota

Bring Home Coffee With a Local Story — San Marcos de Tarrazú

Contact Café Don Mayo about buying coffee and learn more about the producer behind the label. Choose beans to enjoy at home or give as a gift, and ask about the available roast and preparation advice. Confirm visitor arrangements; do not assume an unscheduled farm tour is offered.

Continue to Neighboring Santa María de Dota — San Marcos de Tarrazú

Enjoy Local Food — Copey de Dota

Pause for a meal or snack at an open local business. Ask about regional ingredients and connect them with what you have learned about the surrounding farms.
