Poás Volcano Half - Day Tour

Operated by Expediciones Tropicales
Duration: 5 hours
Price per person: $36.00

En route to Poás Volcano, you will drive through Alajuela province and pass by the statue of Juan Santamaría, Lake Fraijanes and Poasito village. Poás is one of the deepest active volcanoes in the world. Having last erupted in September, 1978, Poás emits a continuous flow of steam from vents adjacent to a lake deep within the main crater. A second crater, with a crystal clear, rain-fed lake surrounded by lush highland jungle, is located a half-mile away, via a trail through dwarf cloud forest.

Among the 80 species of birds reported, several are unique to this unusual habitat.
On the way back to San José, the group will stop at El Recreo Restaurant (or similar) for lunch (not included in tour price). Driving time from San José to Poás Volcano is approximately 90 minutes.

Includes: Transportation, services of a bilingual guide and $6 entrance fee.
