Buenos días!
One Sunday a couple of friends and I decided to take a day trip to Irazú Volcano because it is fairly close to San Jose. We woke up pretty early in the morning to take an 8am bus up to the volcano and we arrived around 9:30am; including all the bus stops up the mountain on the way. I had never been to a volcano before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Initially, I thought that the volcano was active and I was scared about going up there in the first place, but I was quickly relieved to find out that it was no longer active. When we arrived, there was a long walk to the edge of the volcano in order to look inside and see the crater. This is what I saw:
My friend Chepillo enjoying the view of the volcano
A cool shot of Sasha with the clouds looking into the volcano
A panorama of my girls on top of the volcano
Then there was a little Lion King involved:
My friend Chepillo's aunt is a volcanologist based out of Costa Rica and some of the information he shared with me made me more and more curious about volcanoes. His aunt travels around the world doing research on the largest and most active volcanoes that exist today. Nature is so beautiful and the things to learn about it are infinite. I'm definitely planning on visiting another volcano whilst I'm here in Costa Rica. Costa Rica has the most diverse environments I've ever experienced; from the beaches to rain forests, to volcanoes. The list never ends. That could be one of the greatest things about this adventure, I discover new things every day that I never knew existed and that is so inspiring.
I've moved to Cobano on the Nicoya peninsula to do some work with children in schools, so I shall be posting information about that soon! I'm so excited to work with the little ones! They're so cute.
Pura Vida!
Have a wonderful day! xoxo
