From Alajuela, birthplace of our national hero Juan Santamaría, we head towards Poas Volcano in a steady climb to its summit at 9000 feet. Along the way, you will watch a colorful scenery that includes coffee plantations, strawberry fields and ornamental plant green houses.

 Bosque de Paz  is a private biological reserve that covers an area of 400  hectares (1000 acres) of rain & cloud forest and is located between Poas Volcano and Juan Castro Blanco National Parks, where hundreds of species of exuberant flora, trees brimming with orchids, mosses and ferns, and exotic fauna are lodged in magical valleys surrounded by stately mountains and imposing hills, rivers and waterfalls. Pleasant and comfortable paths wind through lush jungles. This is the perfect place to experience the beauty and peace of our cloud forest!
