... Fantastic national park postcard nr 3💚... Poás Volcano is one of Costa Rica’s most accessible active volcano experiences... Poás gives you a dramatic, up close look into an active crater with minimal effort.... a turquoise-acid crater lake with cloud forest trails and high-elevation vistas... not only one of the largest craters in the world but also located in the forests of Central Mountain Range, which boasts magnificent natural landscapes... due to its location in a cloud forest, this Volcano often stubbornly hides behind a thick layer of cloud... Big Thanks dear Andrene!(✿ ♥‿♥) I've been spoiled once more with wonderful postcards and thanks a million for all the effort you and Ron made to find stamps!😘
