San José: Mantra Trail 4x4 Tour & Coffee Tasting
Discover La Chimba’s panoramic mountain views on a guided 4x4 side-by-side ride, visit iconic sculptures including the Mantra Hand, and finish with a Costa Rican coffee tasting.
About this experience
Discover the Mantra Trail at La Chimba in the most comfortable and complete way — aboard a guided 4x4 vehicle that takes you to every major sculpture and panoramic viewpoint inside the property. Located just 20 minutes from San José, this experience is ideal for travelers who want to enjoy breathtaking mountain views and artistic landmarks without hiking the full trail. Your professional guide will accompany you throughout the route, sharing insights about the sculptures, the landscape, and the cultural symbolism behind each stop. During the tour, you will visit iconic sculptures, including the famous Hand of the Mantra overlooking the Central Valley, the majestic Buddha, symbolizing peace and harmony, and the iconic Costa Rica Letters. At each location, you’ll step out for short walks (less than 50 meters) and enjoy time for photos with panoramic mountain scenery. After completing the 4x4 route, the experience continues with a Costa Rican coffee tasting, where you’ll learn about local coffee traditions before exploring the Coffee Experience area independently.
