Anillo de Fuego

Geographically speaking, Costa Rica lies within the Ring of Fire; here is a shot of a path winding through the cloud forest leading to Volcan Paos, that lies within it.

Just a short walk takes you through a cloud forest to a view of the crater. This Volcan is still active and wasnt too long ago when it actually erupted. You need to arrive to the vista early, for the clouds envelope it by noon. We got there about 11:30am, caught a glimpse of the crater and before I could get my camera ready to shoot, the mist took over the forest. Here is shot looking down into the crater below which is hissing and spitting gas and fuego. Sorry you will have to use your imagination...
