Botos Lagoon — photo spot in 5QPF+R3F Laguna Botos, Provincia de Alajuela, Poás, Costa Rica
Botos Lagoon
Botos Lagoon sits inside Poás Volcano’s crater — a photogenic, turquoise crater lake ringed by cloud forest. Shoot broad crater vistas, misty reflections, and rainforest-framed closeups. Best visited at park opening (early morning) when clouds are least likely; afternoons often fogged. High-altitude, cool and damp conditions—bring waterproof gear. Entry requires Poás Volcano National Park ticket; limited parking and trails are short but can be busy on weekends.
