Poas Volcano, Poas Volcano National Park, Costa Rica
You have to pay for parking and tickets. Stroll on a sidewalk to check this out. Lots of people. Easy for families.
Poás is one of Costa Rica´s most active volcanoes, and the rain-fed sulphuric pool emits smoke and steam. The weather here can change in an instant, so make sure to take photos quickly if you have a clear view of the crater. 10 minutes after I took this photo, clouds and fog covered the area and completely obstructed the view.

clear day when I was there but cold at the top with strong wind. Not a lot to see though - don't expect lava! loks like a slate quarry to be honest.
