I had an absolutely wonderful time! I rented a motorbike for 10 days and it was fantastic. The service was great from booking all the way through to collection form my hotel and returning the bike. Service is 5 stars-they are available and responsive to all your questions before and during the trip. The motorbike and gear provided were in great condition. I cannot recommend them more and when i come back to Costa Rica I will definitely be using their services again. Thank you for making my trip unforgettable SL1 Rental!

Rescate Wildlife Rescue Center (formerly Rescate Animal Zoo Ave) is a non-profit that has been rescuing wildlife for over 30 years. While educating the public about local wildlife, this rescue center and sanctuary also breeds endangered species for release to the wild. They have reintroduced several different species to previously extinct areas of Costa Rica and their current Scarlet Macaw breeding program plans to reintroduce a further 500 of the species by 2030. Every admission fee to the sanctuary goes to supporting their cause.

The center is 15 minutes from the airport, and it was an excellent place to spend a few hours before our flight. We enjoyed spotting the sloths, and seeing the peacocks and lizard which roam freely throughout the paths. Eating early at the cafe was a good call, since a bus tour arrived that Saturday and filled up the restaurant just as we finished.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 385 reviews
Before coffee comes from a barista, it comes from a tree, a farm, a community and a culture. Experience coffee hands on from seed to up. See firsthand the work being done to partner with local farmers, promote sustainable practices and develop the next generation of coffee in Costa Rica and around the globe. 90-minute guided tour. Come for the coffee & food, stay for the views.

My wife and I spent 10 days in Costa Rica - we took plenty of tours around the country and this coffee farm was by far the best tour we took. It was highly interactive, we got to see, touch and taste a variety of actual coffee beans, we saw the detailed end-to-end process from growing the coffee into toasting. Breath-taking views of the coffee farm, it includes a great tasting at the end and there is a Starbucks reserve right there to enjoy the local coffee. Melissa was our tour guide and she was Costa Rican, very young and knew everything about the coffee process, she kept the tour extremely interesting and interactive. I definitely recommend it since it is by far better than Britt tours in San Jose and others in La Fortuna.
