My trip to the top of one volcano in Costa Rica! It was a cloudy day and the volcano looked daunting and dismal. Don't worry. It was not an active volcano or I would never have gone up! I have never been on a volcano before. In the USA, I have only hiked and photographed mountains. This was a different sight with huge craters large enough to swallow whole houses. There was a fence for safety. Vistors were not allowed to climb over the fence to protect them from areas of the land that were declining that could cause them to slip and fall way down. I wouldn't want to fall into a crater and find out that there is still lava somewhere! The one exception was that the tour guide allowed each of us to get a photograph with the sign so we could have pictures of where we were. For that, we were allowed to slip under the fence. Take a look...
