Paos Volcano

We drove up to Paos Volcano, which is another active volcano pretty close to San Jose. I'll tell more about the driving experience in the next post. The volcano was awesome and we got there early enough so that there wasn't too much cloud coverage. It has been active for many many years and has changed a lot over time. At times, it is dry and people can walk in the crater area. Other times, it looks like calm water, but currently, it's very active and you can see the gas coming off. There is also another crater nearby that is just filled with water like a lake. It's not very hot, but has a lot of acid in it from the volcano.
