Staying at this bed and breakfast, you’ll be about an hour’s drive from Poas Volcano National Park. This is one of the best-maintained national parks in Costa Rica. Here you can hike to the rim of Poas Volcano, and peer over the side to get a look at the bubbling lava. (The crater is too deep for smoke or geysers to reach the rim.) Make time to hike to the park’s Botos Lake, which is famous for its blue-green water.
