Irazú's Crater and the Farmers Above Cartago

from Costa Rica Travel Podcast with Daniela Rojas · host Daniela Rojas

Daniela takes the winding road up Volcán Irazú, stands at the edge of its green crater lake, and comes back down to Tierra Blanca to see how the highland farms actually work. Plus, the cost of a day up the mountain, the closed road to avoid, and a quiet evening in a city that still hums with protest and politics. ☕ Enjoying the show?
