Things to do in Finca Koki
The activities revolve around the different areas of the farm.
For example, the park has a lagoon where you can practice fishing, kayaking, SUP, and even have a slide.
Around the lagoon are the ranches(kiosks) with chairs and tables for lunch and rest. Some of them have a BBQ area. These ranches can be reserved in advance.
They have a water channel for “tubing”. The canal is used to bring water to the different crops of the farm is also used for this activity. In case you’re wondering, “tubing” is throwing yourself into the water on a tire.
In Finca Koki, you can find trails, water activities, an animal farm, and tours.
Trails are present, some with suspension bridges. One of them takes you to a waterfall on the Poas River.
The horseback riding tour and the tour in the ”chapulin” run through the entire property and take you from the hill to the riverbed. Another of the tours is a guided visit to the hydroelectric plant.
The camping area has a great view of the Poas River. You can see all the depression that the river forms between the mountains.
They have a farm with animals where children and adults can play with rabbits, pigs, horses, and lambs, among others.
Near the lagoon, there is the information office and a restaurant that serves fast food and granizados, a very Costa Rican dessert.

A little history of Finca Koki
Starting in the 50’s during the twentieth century, the place was, and still is, a sugar mill. If you are wondering what a “sugar mill” is, they are facilities prepared for the cultivation and harvesting of sugar cane. Together with these plantations, there are factories that process this plant to convert it into sucrose and sugar.
Another of the stages of this consortium is to be an electricity producer for more than 30 years. In addition to these sugar cane plantations, they also have coffee farms.
As of 2022, the farm has been converted into an adapted place for tourists to enjoy different activities while mantaining part of their traditional activities.
