El Viejo Volcano

Tags cloud forests, volcanoes

El Viejo Volcano lies within Poas Volcano National Park, one of Costa Rica's most visited attractions. The volcano's surrounding landscape features cedar and palm forests. Hiking trails wind through the national park, but due to El Viejo's seclusion, it can be very difficult to reach. Always consult with a park ranger for beginning a trek to the volcano crater.
