Along the way, you'll learn about the unique volcanic ecosystem, local flora, and the park’s geological history. At the viewpoint, you’ll stand before one of the largest active craters in the world, often steaming with volcanic gases. On clear days, the view is spectacular—perfect for photos and an unforgettable moment in nature. Your guide will explain the volcano’s activity, conservation efforts, and cultural importance.

After visiting the main crater, you'll continue along a scenic trail through the cloud forest to reach Laguna de Botos, a beautiful extinct volcanic crater filled with turquoise rainwater. Nestled among lush vegetation and cool mist, this serene spot offers a peaceful contrast to the active crater. Your private guide will share local legends, geological insights, and point out native flora and birdlife.

Get ready for a sweet rural experience! Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed with a fresh strawberry smoothie and introduced to the farm by a local guide who will explain the strawberry production process. Enjoy a guided walk through the strawberry fields, home to 35,000+ plants, and hand-pick your own strawberries—half a kilo per person included. Don’t miss the giant strawberry—a fun photo spot! You’ll also enjoy strawberry-based tastings like wine, sangria, and rompope, plus fresh strawberries with condensed milk or chocolate—a local favorite. The guided portion lasts about 1 hour, but you're welcome to stay longer to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
