The drive up to the volcano's crater lookout takes you through some beautiful scenery around the Cartago area. Worth the drive on its own. As we ascended the volcano, the cloud cover moved in and totally blocked everything from view. They only moved out long enough to make our way to the view points and snap a couple pictures. Then it clouded back in. The volcano's summit is at 3432 meters (11,260 ft) and they say that on a clear day you can see the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/828943924878925824/d4b2269f-ba34-4c33-a0c1-a44a0603b817.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Santa Rosa Things to do - Top hotels in Santa Rosa - Top Holiday Rentals in Santa Rosa ![Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1040000/1039800/1039787/6dfcadbb_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica Sobre Autopista General Cañas Ulloa Heredia £84 8 Mar - 9 Mar includes taxes & fees Stay at this family-friendly hotel in Ulloa.
