Poas Volcano
Poas Volcano is one of the most visited “hot spots” in Costa Rica by tourists as well as locals. This volcano is a short 45 minute drive away from Pura Vida’s location and is one of those “must see things” when visiting our country. It has two main craters, one of them measures 1.5 kilometers in diameter (0.9 miles) and 900 feet deep. At the bottom of this prehistoric-looking hole, there is a medium sized lagoon that spews boiling sulphurous gases. The other crater is the one mentioned above, called Botos Lagoon, which unlike the other lake, contains cold water that connects to the Rio Angel, and later to the large Rio Sarapiqui.
