You have to book the volcano tickets online. In order to book them you have to create an account first. But after you create it it's impossible to log in. The website doesn't work. In the end we managed to book the tickets using the officer's account after 30 minutes of trying. What a surprise when you realize that as a next thing you have to buy a parking ticket for 2000 colones in cash to another officer sitting right next to the first one! Why can't you pay the volcano tickets in cash as well? Then you walk to the visitor centre where they stop you and tell you that you have to wait for your 20-minutes time slot and go together with all the other people waiting there. As the officer told us: "you will go by yourself but in the group". You are allowed only to go to the view point and back. We lost almost an hour going through all the procedures so by the time we reached the view point the volcano got covered in clouds and we saw absolutely nothing. 15 USD per person wasted. The officers on site are kind and helpful but the processes need to be redesigned.

Check the weather before you go. Most times the view isn't clear. But it's a good hike.

Nice parking lot with security. It is not free. It cost about $3.40 (2000 colones) per car. A little disappointing since the volcano tours are quite short.
