Visit one of Costa Rica's most iconic active volcanoes
Experience the impressive Poás Volcano National Park, home to one of the world's largest active volcanic craters. Walk along well-maintained trails to the main crater viewpoint, where you can admire the striking turquoise crater lake and observe steam rising from the volcanic activity when weather conditions allow. Along the way, explore the visitor center and educational exhibits to learn about the volcano's geology, volcanic activity, and the unique cloud forest ecosystem that surrounds this remarkable national park.
