Poás Volcano National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Volcán Poás) is a national park in Costa Rica that covers an area of approximately 65 square kilometres (16,000 acres); the summit of Poás Volcano located within the park is at an elevation of 2,700 metres (8,900 ft).
[2] Still further eruptions, including on Easter, 16 April, caused the park to be closed until August 2018.
[3][4] Over the years, the park has been frequently closed to visitors due to precautions because of water vapor and sulfuric acid gas emissions.
Well-marked trails lead to the two inactive craters, conditions permitting.
The park maintains a variety of wild plant and animal species, such as the Poas magnolia bird species, including the clay-colored robin, black guan, resplendent quetzal and varieties of hummingbirds, tanagers, flycatchers and toucans.
