    Saw this from a couple of different perspectives. It's just beautiful If you choose to swim in it, don't put your head under the water though.

    Excellent Example of a Crater Lake

    This is an amazing lake. Formed in the crater of a volcano it is similar, but not as spectacular as Crater Lake in Oregon. The lake is very inviting and unlike the Oregon crater lake, people are allowed to visit in the water, swim, kayak...More

    Wow, talk about beautiful!!!!

    We visited this beautiful place on an excursion while staying in Costa Rica. Worth every penny, and a very long day (14.5 hrs from pick up to drop off from Riu Guanacaste in CR). Absolutely stunning place.

    Stunning views from high above the lagoon. If you get away from the restaurants and shops it's very peaceful and restful. The restaurants are very expensive.
