Suggestions for tour for last day
 
So excited to be taking my granddaughter to CR for her graduation trip in just 10 days. We have all of our plans done but our last stay is at Torteguero for 3 days so when we return to San Jose on the 10th at about noon we need to find a tour that will keep us busy for the rest of the day. Our flight leaves at 1:07am on the 11th. Last trip there we did a great tour to Doka Coffee plantation, Paos volcano & Sarchi. Any other suggestions?

What about the La Paz Waterfall Gardens? They have a great waterfall hike.

I haven't been, but the Toucan Rescue Ranch looks good too.

We loved the Toucan Rescue Ranch! You could combine it with a tour and meal at the near by Sibu Chocolate.

Good suggestions. We definitely want to do the waterfall hike. Had never heard of the Sibu Chocolate tour so will check into that. Last time we were there we did a stop at Señor & Senora's for souvenirs & enjoyed that. We should have from noon to about 10pm to do some last minute things & want to end with a nice dinner. Just 5 days to go. It's going to be 107-110 here this weekend so think CR will be a cool down.

The owners of Sibu are very charming. The tour/tasting was quite fun. I understand that they now have a restaurant. The setting is beautiful! We combined both the TRR and Sibu in one afternoon.

The ox cart factory in Sarchi was very interesting. The tools were powered by a water wheel and pulleys. Watching the artists paint was a
treat. I also enjoyed seeing the giant ox cart :D

There's other stuff at the waterfall gardens too - an aviary, butterfly house, etc. That area does usually stay nice and cool. A chocolate tasting sounds pretty fun too.
