On the Barva Volcano trail
Finca Rosa Blanca is situated in the Central Valley, surrounded by several magnificent volcanoes, including Irazú, Poás and Turrialba. Barva Volcano is located within the northwest area of Braulio Carillo, the largest of the National Parks, and is only 30 minutes from Finca Rosa Blanca.
We have a unique and special relationship with the "Parque Volcán Barva" and therefore we can arrange extraordinary tours and hikes of all categories within the park and to the various Lagoons of the crater.
