Poas Volcano & Sarchi Artisians
This 6500Ha national park is one of the oldest and best
known in Costa Rica. The centerpiece is Poas Volcano (2704m) with a crater 1.3
km wide and 300 m deep. Recently there have been three major periods of
activity; 1888 to 1895, 1903 to 1912 and 1952 to 1954. Occasionally geyser
eruptions take place, but mostly the crater is a bubbling and steaming cauldron
that does not pose any threat.
Poas second crater, Laguna Botos, is a
lake, surrounded by Dwarf Cloud Forest.
This unique forest is home to
various species of birds amongst which you will find humming birds, the
altitude specialists of Costa Rica.
