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.

Aquiares Coffee Community

Discover a coffee-growing community near Turrialba. Book farm access and visitor activities with a local operator.

Arrange a Farm Experience — Copey de Dota

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.

Arrange an Agricultural Visit — San Ignacio de Acosta

Contact a farm or local guide to learn about agriculture in Acosta. Coffee is an important crop, but access, demonstrations and harvest activities must be confirmed with the host.

Ask About the Butterfly Garden — San Pedro (Montes de Oca)

Check whether the UCR butterfly garden is receiving visitors during your trip. Use a visit to connect caterpillars, host plants and the butterflies children may notice elsewhere.

Check directly with Copey Estate Winery about visits and family participation. The vineyard is a separate private experience; confirm whether children can join before making plans.

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.
