This is a well known
costa rica volcano, not very far away from San Jose. ( 2 hours by car ) There are many interesting
volcanoes in Central America but most of them are not easy to reach. This is one of the two volcanoes in Costa Rica ( Irazu is the other ) where the
road takes you up to the crater and you can view the caldera. The Poas
Volcano is still active and has a huge crater ( 1,3 kilometers diameter and 300 meters deep ) with a hot sulphur lake with fumaroles. It is an extraordinary natural wonder: the crater with all its colors and lush vegetation.
The trip takes you along a country road with beautiful small houses with exotic gardens and through many attractive coffee plantations. Near the
volcano you can see the caracteristic vegetation of a cloud forest with its bromeliads, epiphytes and ferns. The road gives you wonderful views over the Central Valley and the Central Mountain Range. On arrival at the
National Park.
