We went on a tour arranged by Cristian at the Monte Carlo Condominiums. Our first stop was the Poas Volcano. This was my first experience seeing an active volcano. The gigantic crater was filled with steaming vibrant blue water. As we were there gases and ash were coming out of crevices in the crater, such a great experience. Our next stop was La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Wildlife Refuge. This park is absolutely beautiful, offering many walking paths leading you to the gorgeous waterfalls. Great chance to take scenic pictures. The animal refuge was filled with birds, butterflies, humming birds, monkeys and jaguars. Our guide and driver were a wealth of knowledge, explaining and answering all our questions. We also had a scrumptious lunch at the park which offered a wide variety which should suit all palates. All and all it was a great day filled with new experiences.
