Parco nazionale del vulcano Poas - Biglietto d'ingresso
Descrizione
Il vulcano Poás è un potente simbolo delle forze geotermiche che hanno formato il Costa Rica. Quando la nebbia e le nuvole si diradano, vedrai il lago sulfureo, gorgogliante, verde alimentato dalla pioggia sul fondo, circondato da fumo e vapore che sale dalle fumarole. L'acqua del lago filtra costantemente attraverso le fessure nella roccia calda, evaporando e formando sacche di vapore. Quando la pressione in queste sacche supera il peso dell'acqua soprastante, il vapore irrompe in geyser che salgono fino a 250 metri di altezza. Non preoccuparti di farti una doccia, però, il cratere è profondo 320 metri. A quasi un miglio (1,6 km) di diametro è anche il più grande cratere attivo del mondo. Sono state aggiunte nuove caratteristiche di sicurezza per proteggere i visitatori in caso di attività particolarmente intense.

Itinerario
Il Poas è un vulcano che si eleva a 2.708 metri sul livello del mare, dal 1989 ha aumentato notevolmente l'emissione di gas provocando fenomeni di piogge acide che hanno danneggiato la flora in alcuni settori del Parco e nelle piantagioni agricole limitrofe alla zona. In cima ci sono due crateri, il principale di 1,5 km di diametro e 300 di profondità, e la laguna di Botos, acqua fredda e sorgente prettamente piovana, che sfociano nei Caraibi dal fiume Angel, affluente del fiume Sarapiqui. Oggi il vulcano emette grandi quantità di gas e vapore acqueo dalle diverse fumarole che si trovano nel cono interno del cratere. Individuati diversi vulcani, il Chompipe 2259 m s.l.m., il Turu 2139 m s.l.m., il Cerro Cacho Negro a 2250 m e il Barva che presenta diversi crateri, il noto Tres Marias ad un'altitudine media di 1725 metri .

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.
We were lucky, we arrived at 8:00 the volcano 🌋 was in the clouds and drizzle but by chance and with the help of the wind it is discovered On the other hand the reception of the entrance staff for the reception at the parking lot which costs 6 dollars, is an impressive cold no response to our hello "just a 6 Dollars " Arrived at the parking lot like that, you say hello he doesn't answer you and you look Arrived at the center at the level of toilets and reception, all visitors sought or go we were left to ourselves Of all the parks we visited it is surely and by far the one where the reception is the least warm
