Snow show at Irazú Volcano

January 24, 2019 by Staff News Writer

This month, Irazú Volcano has surprised its visitors with beautiful landscapes and a layer of frost in the mornings.

As seen in the images and video, on Thursday morning the area known as Playa Hermosa, near one of the craters, looked completely white.

The National Meteorological Institute (IMN) noted that the lowest temperature in the volcano was 5°C at 4:00 in the morning, which created the conditions for early tourists to find this natural show.

According to Yirlania Granados, who took these photos and left a record in the video that she sent it to CRHoy, the area of Playa Hermosa looked like this at 8:00 a.m.

It is a place where people can walk and this Thursday they could enjoy it because it had a lot of frost. At 9:00 in the morning everything returned to normal, which was when the ice melted,”

said the woman.
