A coffee farm below Poás

Bitzu is a two-hour coffee tour in the Poás area, billed as an authentic Costa Rican experience. It does not visit the volcano: pick it as the second half of a self-drive morning, after an early crater slot.

About this experience

This is a coffee tour, not a volcano tour. The listing is short: two hours, the Poás area, from $30, and the promise of an authentic Costa Rican experience. Check there for the farm's location, whether there is pickup, and what the tasting covers.

It earns its place here through timing. The crater is clearest early, cloud usually fills it by 10:30 or 11:00, and the viewpoint visit lasts 20 minutes. Drive up for the 8:00 slot with a SINAC ticket and you are back down the mountain by mid-morning with the day still open. Two hours at a coffee farm fills it well, and costs far less than the big estates on the day tours, Hacienda Alsacia and Doka.

  • Two hours of coffee in the Poás area
  • Pairs with an early self-drive crater slot
  • A low price for a coffee tour
  • No helmets, no 20-minute limit
