Коста Рика
Poás Volcano is one of the major attractions in the Central Valley region and one of the most visited national parks, and a great day trip add-on for any Costa Rica vacation itinerary. Poás volcano is a powerful symbol of the geothermal forces that formed Costa Rica. When the mist and clouds part, tourists will see the sulfuric, bubbling, green rain fed lake at the bottom, surrounded by smoke and steam rising from fumaroles. Water from the lake is constantly seeping through cracks in the hot rock, evaporating and building pockets of steam.When the pressure in these pockets exceeds the weight of the water above, the steam breaks through in geysers that rocket up to 250 meters high. Тhe crater is 320 meters deep. At almost a 1.6 km across it’s also the largest active crater in the world.
