Taking a tour of PoĆ”s Volcano is a dramatic experience: located in Alajuela, CostaāÆRica, its main crater hosts a hyperāacidic lake making it highly distinctive. Visitors go via lookout points and trails in the PoĆ”s Volcano National Park where you may observe steam, fumaroles and an active volcanic landscape. In terms of wildlife and birds, the high altitude forest supports over 70 bird species such as the ResplendentāÆQuetzal and volcano hummingbirds, and mammals like the endemic PoĆ”s squirrel. In recent months, since JanuaryāÆ2025 the volcano has been in an eruptive phase with phreatic explosions, ash and gas emissions, seismic tremor, so the park has seen closures or restricted access.

The lagoon, with cold, clear waters, formed in an old secondary crater and is surrounded by cloud forests that host ferns, mosses, and endemic birds such as the rufous hummingbird and tapaculo. Its biodiversity and scenery provide a natural and spectacular refuge for visitors exploring the national park trails. It is a site of great ecological and scientific importance.
