Volcanos · Outdoor Activities
A trip to Poas Volcano National Park allows you to see one of the world's largest craters, trek through a lush rainforest, and visit a coffee plantation all on the same day. Nestled in the cloud forest of Central Mountain Range, the park boasts awe-inspiring natural landscapes you can explore through a network of trails. Offering access to rivers and waterfalls, tropical vegetation and exuberant animal life, flower and strawberry farms, and a crater lake, it draws nature lovers from afar. Adventure seekers are particularly drawn by the opportunity to see the active volcano with its sulfur fumaroles and hot geysers. For a complete tour, make a stop at one of the traditional rural villages surrounding the park.
