Susan E Smith's photos from Rincon de la Vieja National Park, Costa Rica

Hiking inside of Rincon de la Viaja Volcano's crater. What kind of impact does making a trail have?

Swimming in La Cangreja lagoon, at the foot of Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, where the springs trickling into the water are warm from the underground lava. Does swimming in the lagoon affect the water?

Hiking out of Rincon de la Viejo Volcano's crater, down through the lava shoots. Does walking on the hardened lava create erosion?

Looking at the pure beauty of a waterfall from the source of the Colorado River pouring down Rincon de la Viaja Volcano. Could we drink this water here and also after it passes through the town that is down just outside of the National Park?
