## Costa Rica

![Poás is one of Costa Rica´s most active volcanoes, and the rain-fed sulphuric pool emits smoke and steam. 

The weather here can change in an instant, so make sure to take photos quickly if you have a clear view of the crater. 10 minutes after I took this photo, clouds and fog covered the area and completely obstructed the view. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6101077/5e97066b-dac1-4d4f-8b0d-449894ad5f8d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
