Poas-Vulkan-Nationalpark – Eintrittskarte
Beschreibung
Der Vulkan Poás ist ein starkes Symbol der geothermischen Kräfte, die Costa Rica geformt haben. Wenn sich Nebel und Wolken verziehen, sehen Sie den schwefelhaltigen, sprudelnden, grünen, vom Regen gespeisten See am Grund, umgeben von Rauch und Dampf, der aus Fumarolen aufsteigt. Wasser aus dem See sickert ständig durch Risse im heißen Gestein, verdunstet und bildet Dampfnester. Wenn der Druck in diesen Taschen das Gewicht des darüber liegenden Wassers übersteigt, bricht der Dampf in Geysiren durch, die bis zu 820 Fuß (250 Meter) hoch schießen. Machen Sie sich jedoch keine Sorgen, dass es zu einem Schauer kommt, der Krater ist 1.050 Fuß (320 Meter) tief. Mit einem Durchmesser von fast 1,6 km ist er auch der größte aktive Krater der Welt. Um Besucher bei besonders starker Aktivität zu schützen, wurden neue Sicherheitsfunktionen hinzugefügt.

Reiseverlauf
Der Poas ist ein Vulkan, der sich auf 2.708 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel erhebt. Seit 1989 hat der Ausstoß von Gasen deutlich zugenommen, was zu sauren Regenphänomenen führte, die die Flora in einigen Bereichen des Parks und der umliegenden landwirtschaftlichen Plantagen des Gebiets geschädigt haben. An der Spitze befinden sich zwei Krater, der Hauptkrater hat einen Durchmesser von 1,5 km und ist 300 tief, und die Lagune von Botos, kaltes Wasser und reine Regenquelle, die über den Angel River, einen Nebenfluss des Sarapiqui River, in die Karibik mündet. Heute stößt der Vulkan große Mengen Gas und Wasserdampf aus den verschiedenen Fumarolen aus, die sich im inneren Kegel des Kraters befinden. Identifizierte mehrere Vulkane, den Chompipe 2259 m über dem Meeresspiegel, den Turu 2139 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel, den Cerro Cacho Negro auf 2250 m und den Barva mit mehreren Kratern, den bekannten Tres Marias auf einer durchschnittlichen Höhe von 1725 Metern .

I had a very disappointing experience. The tour guide never showed up and did not respond to any of my emails, WhatsApp messages, or phone calls. I also never received the entry code required to access the park. As a result, the park staff had to assist me in purchasing new tickets so I could enter. This situation caused unnecessary stress, inconvenience, and additional expenses. Given that the service I paid for was not provided, I am requesting a full refund of the amount I paid. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.
The entrance tickets were not accepted at the entrance, so we had to pay for entry again. We would not recommend tickets ordered online. Double costs.
An amazing view and great experience. Foot traffic was minimal and photos came out great. Staff was helpful.
It was a short, but nice walk. The patch was fully paved, but could present some challenges with steps and steep sections. We did have to deal with some fog and impending storm and weren't able to view the lake unfortunately. There was also a lack of wildlife, but also could have been sheltering from the storm. As added comfort, there were several shelters we could have used if it decided to pour on us. The view of the crater was breath taking! That alone made the visit worthwhile. There were also restrooms available at the visitors center. With the required reservation system it is hard to plan for good weather.
Tickets for Costa Rica's national forests and parks are unnecessarily hard to get. Th prices for foreign visitors has also gotten higher over the years I've been visiting. Getting tickets for Manuel Antonio through the Costa Rican government.... forget about it. Confusing and timed. Going through a third party isn't my favorite way to go but it worked. Awesome place to see and the jungle walks through the park are dense. Not crowded except for a couple school tours. If you have breathing issues, be warned, if the wind is right the fumes can be a concern.
Excellent tour guide Walbert 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Breakfast was Excellent also Very educational tour
if you can figure out how to buy a ticket on the park website, just do that. It is $17 cheaper. We could not figure out how to purchase on the park website so we chose Viator to book through and pay the extra $. After you book it, you have to get a code through another third-party which Viator works with and it was not easy to get. I had to contact customer support and it took quite a bit of back-and-forth to get the code.It was a lot of trouble to get to see the Volcano but once we got it all straightened out it was worth the trip.
I would not advise to go to the volcano this time of year. You can see absolutely nothing as the fog is so thick. Itappears that it rains a lot, which is fine but the visibility is zero. The park person told us that if you come in April, you will be able to see the volcano. So unless you come in April, it’s a waste of your money Next thing you must be aware of, when you purchase tickets through TripAdvisor, can you get an email confirming your purchase. However, you must get a special code through the Whats up app that was a bit frustrating as we had no clue how to do that. We did figure it out.
You may need to wait for the fog to clear up, but when it did for us, we enjoyed a spectacular view! The hike was great. The park was very organized and well maintained.
Definitely worth seeing. It was foggy so we didn't get to see the lagoon but we did walk the entire trail which was paved and nice.
