Costa Rica Pic of the Day: Cerro Pasquí, Cartago

Tico Times reader Daniel Bogarin shared his photo of Cerro Pasquí, an extinct volcano near the slopes of Costa Rica’s mighty Irazú.

Bogarin says it’s easy to reach Cerro Pasquí — as long as you know where you’re going. Surrounded by hills and fincas, Cerro Pasquí is a lesser-known destination even for Costa Ricans.

We hope, if you try to find it, that you enjoy the adventure!
