While staying at our spacious 2-story, 1-bedroom condo with an ocean-view rooftop terrace in Playas del Coco, Guanacaste, a trip to visit the stunning turquoise lake waters of Parque Nacional Volcan Poás, Alajuela, may be in your travel plans.

But if that's currently the case, you may have to wait awhile. As of April 17th, 2017, Parque Nacional Volcan Poás is closed indefinitely due to seismic activity, which includes gas and vapour eruptions that have been spewing volcano rock into the paths of visitors, some reaching as far as 1 km away, eek! This 1 km distance also coincides with the height of the white plume seen above the Poás lake crater. 

Once the rumbling dies down, it's sure to open again to the public but in the mean time, check out the current status of Parque Nacional Volcan Poás hours here.

And remember, it's now Green Season in Costa Rica, meaning it's the time to save big on our condo, with rates as low as USD $25 per night!!
