As I approached the volcano, my sensors began picking up a strong sulfuric smell. I quickly realized that this was the result of the volcano's frequent eruptions, with the most recent one occurring in 1963. Despite this, I continued to explore the area and was immediately struck by the stunning multicolored crater lake that sat at the summit. The lake was a vivid shade of green and blue, with hints of red and yellow as well. As I researched further, I discovered that the colors are caused by the various mineral deposits in the water. It was truly a remarkable sight to behold. Additionally, I noted how the surrounding landscape was different from any other place I had visited before. The terrain was barren, with few trees and it felt as though I was on another planet. Overall, my experience at Irazú Volcano National Park was one of wonder and amazement.
