#NationalPark My wife standing near a large lava flow. Check out the lava above and beneath her. You have to respect lava if you venture into the active areas. If you slip and fall the consequences are bad. Lava reaches temperatures of 2200 degrees which will vaporize wood. It almost feels like tapioca when you put a stick in it.

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Kalapana?
The best time to visit Kalapana is during the dry season, which typically runs from May to October.
