The drive up to the volcano's crater lookout takes you through some beautiful scenery around the Cartago area. Worth the drive on its own. As we ascended the volcano, the cloud cover moved in and totally blocked everything from view. They only moved out long enough to make our way to the view points and snap a couple pictures. Then it clouded back in. The volcano's summit is at 3432 meters (11,260 ft) and they say that on a clear day you can see the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/828943924878925824/d4b2269f-ba34-4c33-a0c1-a44a0603b817.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Prusia is a really good place for hiking! ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/828943924878925824/e20f3816-2f62-4c1d-ae69-56ce8bf65471.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Santa Rosa Things to do - Santa Rosa Hotel Deals - Vacation Rentals in Santa Rosa ![Barceló San José](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/790000/789000/788912/459f24b6_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Barceló San José Autopista General Canas 3km San José San Jose $64 nightly $72 total Mar 31 - Apr 1 Total with taxes and fees Book a stay at this spa hotel in San José.
