Volcán PÓAS

Photograph the massive acidic crater lake, steaming fumaroles and jagged crater rim—powerful graphic contrasts of turquoise water, rusted rock and swirling mist. Best at park opening on weekday mornings when clouds and crowds are lowest; dry season (Dec–Apr) offers more clear windows but conditions change fast. Short, accessible boardwalks and viewpoints mean minimal hiking; pay park entry at the visitor center and use official parking. Check park closures for volcanic activity and bring weather
