Poás

The next volcano I visited was Poás. The Poás volcano is park of a national park. As you can imagine, being a national park, it is far more comercialized that others. However, the scenery is much more dramatic. What looks like clouds hovering over the volcano, is actually the volcano bubbling away.

If your up to it, there is a walking trail about 3/4 mile long that leads up to a beautiful lake. Don't be fooled though, this path looks innocuous enough, however, it is about a 30% grade all the way up. I saw many people stop and turn around. I thought about it but refused to let it get to me.
