"Rented a car and drove to Irazu on a Saturday morning from San Jose. It is imperative you get to the park as early as possible (opening time is 8:00am) as later the fog crawls into the crater and covers everything. If you are brave enough to the face the local traffic you will be rewarded. The driv..."e to the top of the mountain is breathtaking as the road climbs the slopes dotted with small farms, in some of the fields you can still see animals used to plough. The produce you can buy locally from the farmers is one of the best in the world. Fruits, veggies and local dairy products are a treat. The only recommendation is since CR is relying so much on tourism they should do something about making a better signage marking the routes to their hot spots (volcanoes etc) so independent tourists can get there. Also the admissions to those places are only in cash. Be prepared.

"This is one on the many Volcano's located in the central Costa Rica Area. This one was really interesting to me because of the location and the viewing areas. As you approch the peak it opens up to a massive flat area that is lined with wood fencing right on the edge of the crater. Absolutely stunni..."ng views from the top to the inside. If you look to your left while standing in the viewing area ,on a clear day you can see The Turrialba Volcano smoking in the distance.
Awsome views

"I went to Volcan Irazú with a group of amateur and professional photographers for a late night shooting session looking for long expossision photos of stars and the city. With a little bit of luck the volvano is great place for this kind of photos. Just dont forget your hot coffe and jacket. "
