What to expect

Full day in Sarapiqui from San Jose, Hiking to watch volcanoes wild life beside a Kayaking tour, we pick you up at your hotel in San Jose, Heredia or Alajuela

The day will start with your pick at the hotel in San Jose, Alajuela or Heredia to drive for around 1 hour and 30 minutes to get at the entrance of the volcanoes in Costa Rica, then we will go to  the Laguna del Hule with a beautiful views of the lake and having a typical and delicious lunch and take a rest. 

Then we will have a hiking through the mountains watching the birds and the wild life, to get until the lake to start the kayaking for about 2 hours. 

About 11 km north of the Poas volcano, at the base of the Congo volcano, there are three beautiful lagoons.

The entire area that includes the lagoons and its exuberant vegetation is called Bosque Alegre. The largest of these lagoons is the Hule lagoon, which has a dimension of 1150 mt. (54.7 ha and 26.5 m depth), the Congo Lagoon (14.6 m deep and an area of 15 ha) and a much smaller one without a name. 

The Hule lagoon is, perhaps, one of the most beautiful in the country and the wildlife refuge where one of the places of high tourist potential is located, both for its scenic beauty and for the abundance and biological diversity present in the forest. that surrounds it. The tourist who arrives for the first time at the viewpoint, when the sun shines, is stunned by so much beauty gathered in a sector still unknown to most Costa Ricans. 

Its shallow shores have favored the development of large numbers of aquatic macrophytes and in its waters abound the guapotes. In the surroundings are common armadillos, the capuchin and the congos, the otters in certain nearby rivers and at least 170 species of birds (25% of the total identified in Costa Rica). The odd wild duck usually breaks the monotomy of silence in its fleeting flight and of sonorous fluttering. Other species representative of the area are butterflies and bats, of which 60 and 24 species have been identified, respectively. Given the congenital beauty of this unique volcanic landscape, today it constitutes a protected area called Bosque Alegre Wildlife National Wildlife Refuge.
