We wouldn't
say that "getting there
is half the fun", but
we would say that the driving
is easy and the views are
spectacular! You´ll
pass through several scenic
ecosystems on your way to
the Lodge:
 From
San José to Alajuela:
then climb the side of Poás
Volcano, known for its huge
crater. Turning right to Varablanca,
here you´ll see beautiful
coffee fincas and further
up strawberries and ornamental
plant and cutflower nurseries.
As you descend, lies the famous
warm low lands of San Carlos,
producing sugar cane, yucca,
pineapple and most of the
citrus fruits grown in Costa
Rica.
