Chile Puyehue Volcano Eruption

Pura — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 08:56:37 +0000

The eruption of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle Volcano in southern Chile has been producing some absolutely spectacular images for the world to see, not least this one from Chile’s La Tercera newspaper’s site. The volcano is about mid-way down the Chilean Lake district which runs from (roughly) the area of Lago Villarica/Pucón in the north to [...]

Here’s a video I took at the Arenal Nayara Hotel in Costa Rica which is a magnificent spot overlooking the Arenal Volcano in the central north of Costa Rica. Hopefully the video is self explanatory but this is a gorgeous spot for a romantic getaway. We also send families here and they love it too so [...]

In fact I think it is considered the world’s most consistently active volcano. The image of red hot lava pouring forth [...]

Nicaragua’s Masaya Volcano

Bit of a dramatic one this, taken at the summit of Masaya volcano in Nicaragua. That cloud isn’t a handy prop to set the mood, it’s actually smoke rising from the crater itself – the sky was a clear blue behind me. Even without the spectral presence of the cross looming over the crater, the [...]

The two sides of Costa Rica

To me, this photo epitomizes real Costa Rica. I say “real” because in the last few years there has been an influx of both tourists and ex-pats who have undeniably left their mark on both the landscape and culture. There is no escaping the fact that in the large tourist areas, it’s as easy to [...]

Off the beaten track in Costa Rica

Katie — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:21:01 +0000

This is rush hour on the road to Rincon de la Vieja. After the turn-off at the town of Liberia a good hour and a half previously, this was literally the first sign of life we’d met on our dusty way to the lodge. That’s if you don’t count the staring match with the rogue [...]
