Tapantí National Park is a mid-elevation forest in
a valley with waterfalls, a rushing river, abundant birds,
animals and flowers including hibiscus and many orchid species.
Orchids are found at any time of the year at this diverse
site...sometimes miniatures with blossoms the size of a grain
of wheat may be found attached to mossy trunks of trees.
En route to Tapantí, we pass through the town of Cartago,
the colonial capital of Costa Rica and site of the Basilica
of our Lady of the Angels-the shrine of the country's patron
saint-and on to scenic Orosi Valley. Depending on the season,
this trip may also stop at Lankester Orchid Gardens. Driving
time, each way, is about 90 minutes.
Includes: Transportation, lunch, park entrance fee, Naturalist
Guide.
