Our first stop was the volcano a beautiful drive up lush green fields including many strawberry farms. You park at the top and then walk to the crater where you are greeted by the amazing sight of a huge crater with swirling gases mixing with clouds coming down from the slopes of the crater.

It was INCREIBLE Volcan Poas is at about 8000 feet elevation and the bus ride there had great views of the central valley as we went up the windy windy roads.

We hesitated briefly after surveying the road but headed down what ended up being a horrible road even for Costa Rica.
