Learn more about San Rafael

Colourful colonial architecture frames San Rafael's central plaza where locals gather for weekend markets and traditional music. Nearby Poás Volcano National Park offers misty hiking trails with views of its striking turquoise crater lake.

Exploring the place, guided by the sound of the river, I found this tiny waterfall hiding behind some trees. Shot was taken handheld.
