Simply have patience and follow instructions on this web site. You must enter the park at time it gives you on the ticket otherwise you will not be allowed to enter and unfortunately you have to buy a new ticket and come back. Small groups are formed at designated times and led into the park by Park Rangers and trained naturalist guides.
Cost around $18 per person -Park rangers are on duty to guide visitors thru the park. Best time to visit is early morning due to clouds covering the crater as the morning progresses because the park is 8,000 feet above sea level. Climate is cool and misty so you need a light jacket and good walking shoes.
Park opens at 7 am-2 pm and last group is allowed into the park at 1.20 pm. Seven days per week
Poas is the world’s largest geyser, measuring one mile wide. Poas Volcano is located in the central valley of Costa Rica. The drive from Alajuela is approx. thirty five minutes by van or car. From San Jose it is around one hour.
