Fodor's Review:

Considering the amount of coffee you'll drive past in the Central Valley, you might want to devote an hour or so of your vacation to learning about the crop's production. Doka Estate, a working coffee plantation for more than 70 years, offers a comprehensive tour that takes you through the fields, shows you how the fruit is processed and the beans are dried, and lets you sample the local brew. The best time to take this tour is during the October-to-February picking season.

  • Cost: $16, $30 with transportation from San José, Alajuela, Heredia, Escazú, or San Antonio
  • Open: Tours daily at 9, 10, 11, 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30; weekends last tour at 2:30
