From the main viewpoint we will walk to the edge of the crater to observe its impressive volcanic lagoon and the landscape formed by the geological activity of the volcano. The guide will explain the eruptive history of the Poás, its scientific importance and how volcanic activity has influenced the ecosystems and soils of the region.
