Irazu Volcano








Krystle and Stacie




The volcano was beatiful! There were 3 large crators we could see and another crator/opening that was letting off sulfuric smoke! It was quite beautiful! As we walked across one of the crators I just imagined what would happen if the volcano erupted! Despite the low odds of survival I thought it might be pretty cool! Pura Vida!!



We saw a very cute animal, which I am still unsure of what it is called. I didn't look it up, so anyone feel free to offer suggestions to what it is. A ground squirrel or a gopher? It might remain a mystery for all time!



On the way down the Irazu mountain, there is an abandoned hospital that had originally been used for tuberculosis patients. It was on the mountain itself, and they decided to move it after an eruption and the potential risk!



We saw the oldest church in Costa Rica. In a small city near Cartago at the base of a mountain.




This is a picture of the valley the church is in.
