Doka Coffee, Grecia & Sarchí Oxcart Tour
Tour Doka Estate, visit Grecia's metal church and see Sarchí's painted oxcart tradition, with lunch and hotel transfers.
Coffee, architecture and Costa Rican craft
Spend a relaxed day in the Central Valley learning how coffee moves from
plant to cup, visiting Grecia's distinctive metal church and seeing the
painted oxcart tradition associated with Sarchí.
Doka Estate coffee tour
Walk through a working coffee estate with a guide who explains cultivation,
harvesting, processing and roasting. Taste coffee and visit the production
areas included that day. Harvest and mill activity are seasonal, so not
every machine or step will be operating during every visit. A Costa Rican
lunch follows the coffee experience.
Grecia and Sarchí
Continue to central Grecia to see the red metal church and surrounding town.
Interior access can change during services or events. In Sarchí, visit an
artisan factory and shop to learn about brightly painted oxcarts and local
woodworking, with time to browse crafts without any obligation to buy.
The route involves getting in and out of the vehicle and walking through
production and town settings; confirm step-free access if mobility is
limited.
