[Alajuela Poas] Nomad's Guidebook
Mindful explore: Natural Gems near by 🌴🦥
Poás Volcano National Park is one of the most breathtaking sites in Costa Rica. Sitting at nearly 8,885 feet high, Poas is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in the country. Because this park is highly attractive, it is actually one of the most developed and can even be accessed by wheelchair.
Capture stunning views at the main crater, which stretches almost a mile in diameter. Geysers are known to explode into the air here, and can reach heights as momentous as 820 feet, but the chances of getting splashed are very unlikely because the crater is nearly 1,000 feet below the ground level where visitors stand.
Outside of the immediate area around the crater, the park is very dense with vegetation and an abundance of flora and fauna.
