The beauty of Poas Volcano National Park makes it the most visited park in Costa Rica. Join us on this full-day excursion for spectacular views, stunning scenery and exotic wildlife.

The Poas Volcano in Costa Rica is one of the world's largest geysers, with a crater expanding over 4,900 feet (1.5 km). The volcano is active, but completely safe for viewing. You will have the opportunity to see the volcano up close and all the surrounding flora.
