On Saturday, the temperature dropped so much in Cartago that it rained hail in high areas. The traces of the ice surprised the tourists who visited Irazú Volcano National Park.
One of them was María Lourdes Gómez, who said that it was very odd because they found ice concentrated only in the area in front of the parking lot.
She also assured that Sofía Chavarría, one of the park rangers, reported that the strong fall of these particles occurred during the night and early morning, when the cold peak was higher.
