Day Trip to Doka Coffee Plantations, Poás Volcano, & La Paz Waterfall Gardens, San José

Located just a 30 minutes drive from downtown San José, The Toucan Rescue Center offers a unique opportunity to escape the fast paced city and encounter Costa Rica's fascinating wildlife. If you don't have a rental car, you can easily ask the front desk of your hotel to call you a taxi (generally around $20 USD one way). The hotel staff can provide you with a number to call for a return taxi or you can ask the rescue center's staff to help you call one.

Upon arrival at the center, you'll spend a few hours enjoying adorable sloths and delicious coffee on this two-for-one guided walk. Sip some delicious brew made from the sanctuary's partners at Cafe Britt while watching young sloths enjoy their morning exercise, breakfast, and sometimes even a bathroom break (a once-a-day activity for most sloths). 

This educational walk is an opportunity for sloth lovers to get close to their favorite animal. You'll learn all about the history and mission of the rescue center from your guide, and even meet some of the dozens of other animal species that are taken in and rehabilitated at the center.

Costa Rican coffee is great, but nothing beats enjoying it with a cuddly sloth!

Begin your cultural immersion with an orientation and tour of the Park of La Sabana, followed by visits to historical sites such as the National Theater and the Costa Rican Gold Museum, as well as stops at points of interest throughout the city.
