Costa Rica - DESTINATIONS & HOTELS

Poas

1½ hours’ drive from San Jose, the huge turquoise lake and smouldering caldera of Poás Volcano is one Costa Rica’s most impressive (and photographed!) sites. The beautiful colour belies its true nature as one of the world’s most acidic lakes and visitors are often treated to its sulphuric fumes and geyser-like mini-eruptions. Close by, Poás second crater lake “Lago Botos” is surrounded by dense vegetation and dwarf cloudforest that harbours interesting birdlife including toucanets and quetzals. The national park is a popular daytrip from the capital yet stay a night in one of the surrounding lodges and you can hike down to Lake Botos and the extinct Von Frantzuis crater well away from the usual tourist groups.

Travelled to Myanmar & Bangkok

All went very well to plan. We felt the impact of the number of flights to get to places – 7 in all – but that is obviously necessary in Myanmar and to get to both Myanmar and Cambodia (and we knew this). All guides and drivers were on time and excellent.
