We have a showroom with important coffee picking instruments and a better explanation of the process of coffee production.

Finally, we want to look at one of the most important aspects of Costarican culture and tradition, the trapiche: A sugar cane-mill run by two beautiful oxen (Fast & Furious). Here we grind sugar cane to extract the juice and make all kinds of local and delicious candy (Dulce, Sobado, Espumas and Miel) you can try. This is for sure the sweetest tour in the area.

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we traveled with a group of 10 friends. Los Suenos Transfers was a huge part of our trip, because of the size of our group. They picked us up at the airport and drove us to Los Suenos. The bus is very clean and they had refreshments for the ride. We stopped halfway for some food and drinks while we viewed huge crocodiles from the bridge. The excursion to Manuel Antonio was awesome!! Diego and his brother Albarro were very knowledgeable being local and very informative about Costa Rica. Diego stopped the bus and saved a sloth trying to cross the road! We used Los Suenos Transfers for many trips while in Costa Rica and always felt welcome with their warm and pleasant demeanor. They were always on time and got us where we needed to be. Many times they would stop and show us things about their beautiful country such as panoramic views to macaws, monkeys, sloths, and crocodiles. I highly recommend Los Suenos Transfers if you want to make your trip better. Thank you Diego and Albarro for making us feel like family. Pura Vida!!!
