We take the Pan-American Highway towards the city of Alajuela and the Agriculture Monument, the Monument to Juan Santamaria and the famous Mango Park. During the ascent to the volcano we stop for a brief explanation on our golden bean, coffee, and continue the journey through cultures of ferns, flowers and strawberries.
