Costa Rica Countryside

 

One thing about Costa Rica that is truly amazing, is the micro climates that can be found along the country. If you are in San Jose downtown, you may be experiencing hot weather, but just 25 kilometers from there, you get to Cartago and have chilly weather with a little of rain. You go 2 hours in a road to a wonderful beach and in just 15 minutes you are in a mountain again with foggy weather. 

This pictures shows a little bit of this, rain a sun coexisting in just the same landscape.

Tope at Coronado

The town of Coronado is used to have wonderful activities such as the Tope, where hundreds of beautiful horses walk around the main square showing off their skills.

Countryside to the Poas Volcano

Driving towards Poas Volcano, you will find incredibly beautiful landscapes. Its foggy mountains, chilly weather and very Tico environment, really transport you to the core of Costa Rica. On the road you will find farmers that, beacuase they are so used to visitors, will decorate their oxes and charge $1 for a posed picture.

It is truly an amazing trip to the skirts of the volcano, and getting to the National Park is the end oof this road. Poas Volcano has one of the biggest craters in the world and once you get to the look out point you will find yourself in something that will remain you of the moon.
