Early in the morning pick up to the unique hike from the highest volcano in Central America, Irazú Volcano (3432 m) to Turrialba Volcano (3328 m) through beautiful farmland, cloud forest and high barren plains.
Both volcanoes are still active and their last eruptions were less than ten years ago. Along the hike several species of animals can be observed, such as Squirrels, Porcupine Armadillos, Coyotes, and Bell Birds among others. Transfer to San Gerardo de Dota. Overnight: Paraiso del Quetzal or similar (lunch, dinner).

The Quetzal tour is, located near the highest point in the southwest of Costa Rica. About 10m. from the inn is a cloud forest, where you can spot Quetzales. While walking through the magnificent, mysterious forest trails, you will see waterfalls, birds and no other tourists (this place is not really touristy; you will feel like you are the only one in this impressive forest).
The best time for viewing Quetzals is from November to May, but if you are lucky and have patience, you may get the chance to see the Quetzal any time of the year. This place is really different from the other places in Costa Rica, it is cold, wet and quiet, but really worth visiting! (Breakfast, Lunch).
