Tourism in Costa Rica which stood at 329,000 visitors in 1988 has jumped to 2,665,000 in 2015 (over 1 million from USA) spending close $3 billion.

The seven natural wonders of Costa Rica are
1 Cocos Island (Spanish: Isla del Coco) Isla del coco.jpg
2 Arenal Volcano (Spanish: Volcán Arenal) Costa rica arenal fortuna 2001 12.jpg

5 Tortuguero Canals (Spanish: Canales de Torguero) Tortuguero boat trip.JPG
6 Poás Volcano (Spanish: Volcán Poás) Kids Volcán Poás Dic 2005 06.JPG
7 Monteverde Reserve (Spanish: Reserva Monteverde) DirkvdM canopy walk.jpg

i have been up two active volcanoes in my life in Italy and Hawaii. Volcanic activity (even smoking vents) is always amazing if a little frightening.


They have had less luck depicting volcanoes in movies.
