This is the Poas Volcano steaming!
We hiked up to this Volcano and to an inactive crater that has filled up with rain water and is now a lake. We hiked through the dense forest and saw hummingbirds, other birds, a black turkey, a medium sized animal with a long tail that we forget the name of, and a very friendly squirrel! It was chilly up in the mountains.

We took a bus from Alajuela, North up into the mountains. It was a very steep and curvy bus ride. It took us 1 1/2 hours to drive up to the volcano park, and only 30 minutes to get back down. Driving through the small mountain communities was really interesting and cool. We saw a lot of small farms with cows grazing in fields, and gorgeous views as the one above!
We stopped in a small village selling souviners and I made two new friends!

We have seen a lot of street dogs, and Dan told me I can´t pet them, so I was happy to meet domesticated dogs!

Tomorrow morning we are getting up at 4am to catch a bus up to Nicaragua. It will be an 8 hour bus ride, but the busses are nice.
Hasta Luego!
